HC Deb 02 June 1997 vol 295 c1W
Mr. Vaz

To 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'Brien

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.
