HC Deb 16 October 1995 vol 264 c52W
Mr. Tony Lloyd

To ask the Secretary of State for the Home Department, how many Somali exceptional leave holders who had not completed four years of status were allowed to be joined by their spouse and children in each year since 1990. [36693]

Mr. Nicholas Baker

Information on the number of Somlis who have been joined by their spouse and children within four years of being granted exceptional leave to remain is not available.

Information on the number of Somalis granted exceptional leave to remain in each year since 1986 is given in table 3.2 of the Home Office Statistical Bulletin "Asylum Statistics United Kingdom 1994", issue 15/95, a copy of which is available in the Library.
