HC Deb 14 January 1994 vol 235 c335W
Mr. Corbett

To ask the Secretary of State for the Home Department how many people had their refugee status withdrawn in the last 12 months for which figures are available, and one year and two years earlier.

Mr. Charles Wardle

The available indications are that the number of such cases is small.

Mr. Corbett

To ask the Secretary of State for the Home Department if he will publish the guidelines laying down the personal circumstances he takes into account in deciding whether it is appropriate in a particular case to remove the grant of exceptional leave to remain.

Mr. Charles Wardle

There are no set guidelines, but it might be appropriate not to renew exceptional leave to remain where, for instance, the particular circumstances which had led to its grant had ceased to apply.
