HC Deb 08 June 1999 vol 332 cc257-8W
Fiona Mactaggart

To ask the Secretary of State for the Home Department how many applicants made complaints to the Immigration and Nationality Directorate concerning lost passports in each quarter since the second quarter of 1996; and in how many cases the passports were subsequently found. [85486]

occurred in Gloucestershire in (a) 1997, (b) 1998 and (c) 1999 to date. [85441]

Mr. George Howarth

Provisional figures show that Gloucestershire fire brigade recorded eight fire-related deaths in 1997 and three in 1998. Data for 1999 are not yet available, centrally.

These figures may be subject to change; there are circumstances in which further information becomes available (from death certificates, inquests etc.) where the cause of death is not actually the fire, or where perhaps persons may die sometime after the fire due to injuries sustained.
