Special Immigration Appeals Commission Hearings

HC Deb 27 April 2004 vol 420 cc896-7W

Mr. Dismore

To ask the Parliamentary Secretary, Department for Constitutional Affairs if he will place in the Library the public parts of the transcripts of Special Immigration Appeals Commission hearings relating to appeals against detention under the Anti-terrorism, Crime and Security Act 2001; and if he will make a statement. [167090]

Mr. Lammy

The transcripts from the open sessions of the Special Immigration Appeals Commission still contain sensitive material relating to the appellants' details. It would therefore be inappropriate to release this information into the public domain pursuant to Rule 39(5)(h) of The Special Immigration Appeals Commission (Procedure) Rules 2003.
