HL Deb 24 October 1990 vol 522 c1518WA
Lord Hylton

asked Her Majesty's Government:

Why Mr. Huseyin Maybarskan and another Kurd from Turkey have been detained in Canterbury Prison since July, and whether they will release them to join close relatives and friends in England, pending consideration of their applications for refugeee status.

Earl Ferrers

Detention under the Immigration Act is maintained following an assessment, in every case, of whether the applicant is likely to comply or not with any terms attached to temporary admission. In these two cases continued detention is justified.
