To ask the Secretary of State for the Home Department how many EU nationals were refused entry to the UK on grounds of(a) public policy, (b) public security and (c) public health during 1999. [137278]

Mrs. Roche

The available information relates to the total number of European Union nationals who were refused leave to enter in 1999. A total of 290 such persons were recorded in that year. There are no separate statistics for the individual categories requested.

Ms Oona King

To ask the Secretary of State for the Home Department how many non-EEA family members who arrived in possession of entry clearance holding an EEA family permit were refused entry by the immigration officer at a British port of entry during 1999. [137277]

I regret the information requested is not available and could be obtained only at disproportionate cost.
