§ Mr. MaddenTo ask the Secretary of State for the Home Department how many Iraqi army, air or navy officers are known to be present to date in the United Kingdom; how many such personnel have been admitted to the United Kingdom in each of the past five years for courses of study; and how many such officers(a) have le ft the United Kingdom voluntarily, (b) have been deported, (c) are in detention, (d) are subject to restriction on their movements and (e) are resident without restriction.
§ Mr. Peter LloydNo information is recorded on the number of Iraqis admitted to the United Kingdom who were serving members of the Iraqi armed forces. Thirty-six Iraqis, whom we now have reason to believe are serving members of the forces, entered the United Kingdom as students to study at various colleges. Thirty-five of these did so without declaring their military status. One was allowed to make a voluntary departure before confirmation of his status was received and 35 are in military custody. We have no knowledge of the presence in the United Kingdom of any other serving member of the armed forces.
