HC Deb 05 May 1998 vol 311 cc370-1W
Mr. Corbyn

To ask the Secretary of State for the Home Department how many(a) decisions have been made to deport, (b) deportation orders have been signed and (c) deportation orders have been enforced against (i) British overseas citizens and (ii) other British nationals who are not British citizens in each year since 1990; to which countries it has been proposed to deport these people; and how many such people against whom deportation orders were made left the country voluntarily. [40395]

Mr. Mike O'Brien

The available information is given in the table. I regret that comprehensive information regarding the proposed removal destination for those persons under the deportation process is not available. No British Overseas citizens or other British nationals made a voluntarily or supervised departure during 1994–1997 following the making of deportation orders against them; the equivalent information relating to 1990–1993 is available only at disproportionate cost.
