§ Mr. CorbynTo ask the Secretary of State for the Home Department how many decisions to make a deportation order, by nationality of the potential deportee, where there is only a right of appeal under section 5 of the Immigration Act 1988 have been made in each quarter since 1 August 1988; and on what basis these decisions have been made.
§ Mr. Charles WardleI will write to the hon. Member.
§ Mr. CorbynTo ask the Secretary of State for the Home Department what is his Department's current policy on enforcing deportation decisions against genuine students who have been found to be working in breach of their conditions of entry; how many such deportation decisions have been made in each quarter since January 1991; how he would define a genuine student; and whether he will list the colleges which he would not recognise as providing courses of study for overseas students acceptable under the immigration rules.
§ Mr. Charles WardleAny overseas student who wishes to work during his free time or vacations may do so by obtaining permission from the Department of Employment. Each case in which a student is found working without such permission is considered on its merits. As required by the immigration rules, all relevant factors are taken into account before deciding whether deportation is the right course. A genuine student in this context is one who meets the requirements of the immigration rules for the grant of leave to enter or remain as student. Records are not kept in a form which would enable the number of students deported to be identified.
