Figures for 1985 and 1986 separately identified those granted temporary admission pending further examination, from those granted temporary admission after being refused entry, with the result that those granted temporary admission under both circumstances were counted twice. In subsequent years those granted temporary admission under both circumstances have been counted once only.
