§ Beverley HughesThe latest available information shows that a total of 62,300 Jamaican nationals were admitted to the United Kingdom during 2002.
I regret that is not possible to identify nationals of Bolivia separately in our admission statistics.
Also, admission statistics are not collated on Swedish nationals. European Economic Area (EEA) nationals are free to enter the United Kingdom without requiring leave to do so. EEA nationals are therefore not included in statistics on border control.
Data on passengers given leave to enter the United Kingdom are published in the Command Paper `Control of Immigration: Statistics United Kingdom 2002' (Cm6053), obtainable from the House Library, The Stationery Office and via the Home Office website http://www.homeoffice.gov.uk/rds/hobpubs1.html
