§ Mr. VazTo ask the Secretary of State for the Home Department on what date he assessed the representations made by the hon. Member for Leicester, East concerning the case of Mr. Singh of Leicester; and what was the cost to public funds of the case. [1481]
§ Mr. Mike O'BrienI reviewed the representations made by the hon. Member for Leicester, East in this case on 15 May and wrote to him that day, conveying my decision. Mr. Singh was removed to India on 20 May.
It is not the practice to calculate the costs to public funds of individual cases of illegal entry and such estimates could be produced only at disproportionate cost.
