HL Deb 19 March 1997 vol 579 cc71-2WA
Lord Dubs

asked Her Majesty's Government:

How many asylum seekers in detention have (a) applied for bail; and (b) been granted bail, for any recent period for which figures are available.

Baroness Blatch

Comprehensive information regarding bail applications can only be obtained by examination of individual case records. The information requested is, therefore, only available at disproportionate cost.
