HC Deb 06 July 1992 vol 211 cc38-9W
Mr. Corbyn

To ask the Secretary of State for the Home Department how many notices have been issued(a) in total and (b) to each airline under the Immigration (Carriers' Liability) Act 1987 in each quarter since January 1991; how much money has accrued as a result; and how many such notices have been contested by each airline.

Mr. Charles Wardle

It is not the practice to disclose information on the record of individual airlines under the Act. The total number of notices issued to carriers—; airlines and sea operators—; in each quarter since January 1991 was as follows:

Quarter ending Number of notices
31 March 1991 2,843
30 June 1991 2,759
30 September 1991 2,674
31 December 1991 2,031
31 March 1991 1,954

A total of £9.154 million was received in payments, many of which would have related to notices issued before this period. Representations were made by carriers in 4,683 cases.
