§ Ms Oona KingTo ask the Secretary of State for the Home Department how many decisions to deport EU nationals were made on the grounds of(a) public policy, (b) public security and (c) public health during the period 1 February 1998 to date. [72868]
§ Mr. Mike O'BrienBetween 1 February and 30 November 1998, some 135 European Union nationals were issued with a notice of intention to deport or recommended for deportation by a court. The precise reasons for initiating deportation action in these cases can only be obtained through the examination of individual case records and is therefore only available at disproportionate cost.
