§ Mr. Tom ClarkeTo ask the Secretary of State for the Home Department how many people were given political asylum in the United Kingdom in 1990; and what were the comparable figures for each European Community nation.
§ Mr. Peter LloydFull information on grants of asylum in the United Kingdom in 1990 is not yet available. To date, about 1,600 such grants, including associated dependants, are recorded, but this understates because of delays in recording. Information on grants of asylum in other EC countries in 1990 is not yet available.
