HC Deb 22 May 1991 vol 191 c487W
Mr. Madden

To ask the Secretary of State for the Home Department on how many occasions Mr. Mohinder Paul Singh Bedi or his wife, Kuldip, have been retained as interpreters by (i) the immigration and nationality department or (ii) the Metropolitan police since 1984; and if he will make a statement.

Mr. Peter Lloyd

Records of this kind are not held centrally and the information requested could be provided only at disproportionate cost. However, I understand that Mr. Bedi and his wife have worked as casual interpreters on occasions for the immigration service and the police since 1968.

Mr. Madden

To ask the Secretary of State for the Home Department how many official invitations have been issued to Mr. Mohinder Paul Singh Bedi to attend official functions organised by his Department since 1983; and if he will make a statement.

Mr. Peter Lloyd

Records of invitations issued to individuals are not held centrally and the information requested could be provided only at disproportionate cost, if at all.
