HC Deb 05 December 1997 vol 302 c369W
Ms Jenny Jones

To ask the Secretary of State for Foreign and Commonwealth Affairs what percentage of the applications for entry clearance to the UK received at the embassy in New Delhi were from people living in the Punjab in the last year for which figures are available. [18655]

Mr. Fatchett

It is not possible to provide an accurate figure for the percentage of entry clearance applications received in the High Commission in New Delhi from people living in the Punjab. The High Commission's computer system does not hold this information and to conduct a manual sift would incur disproportionate cost.
