§ Ms Oona KingTo ask the Secretary of State for the Home Department (1) how many Somali nationals previously granted exceptional leave to remain and who have submitted upgrade applications for full refugee status have received a decision on their case in each month since the House of Lords judgment on the Adan case; [117794]
(2) how many asylum applications received from Somali nationals in each of the years 1998 and 1999 were upgrade applications from an applicant previously granted exceptional leave to remain. [117795]
§ Mrs. RocheInformation on the number of decisions made or the number of applications lodged by Somali nationals requesting an upgrading to full refugee status is not held centrally. Such information would be obtained only by examining individual case papers at disproportionate cost.
