HC Deb 29 January 1991 vol 184 cc451-2W
Mr. Blunkett

To ask the Secretary of State for the Home Department how many non-Iraqi Arabic or Palestinians resident in Britain have been served with decisions to make a deportation order for national security reasons, on the grounds of being not conducive to the public good; from what areas of the United Kingdom they originated; and if he will make a statement.

Mr. Peter Lloyd

Twelve non-Iraqi nationals have been advised of my right hon. Friend's decision to deport them on the grounds that their presence is not conducive to the public good for reasons of national security. The majority have lived in the south-east of the country. In one case, my right hon. Friend has decided to take no further action.
