HL Deb 02 February 1995 vol 560 c122WA
Earl Russell

asked Her Majesty's Government:

How many times the present Home Secretary has been found by the courts to have acted unlawfully, and what are the equivalent figures for his four predecessors.

The Minister of State, Home Office (Baroness Blatch)

No specific list of judgments against the Home Secretary or the Home Office is held centrally. However, judgments are a matter of public record. To engage in a search of such judgments over the past 10 years, given the large proportion of immigration cases, would entail disproportionate cost.
