HC Deb 21 January 1994 vol 235 c926W
Mrs. Roche

To ask the Secretary of State for the Home Department what was the cost to the Exchequer of the attempted deportation of Mrs. Joy Gardner.

Mr. Charles Wardle

The cost of the police officers and the immigration officer directly involved in the attempt to deport Mrs. Gardner on 28 July 1993 was £539.79. The cost of the time of other officials of the immigration and nationality department involved in this case could not be established without disproportionate expense.
