asked the Secretary of State for the Home Department what

				Number of recommendations for deportation by courts			Number of deportation orders made following court recommendations
Year				Commonwealth citizen*	Irish citizens	Foreign nationals	Commonwealth citizens	Irish citizens	Foreign nationals
1970	…	…	…	315	178	302	233	142	121
1971	…	…	…	361	174	289	255	116	127
1972	…	…	…	338	151	320	237	122	123
1973	…	…	…	304	91	282	223	58	142
1974	…	…	…	189	79	370	113	45	126

The deportation orders made in a particular calendar year are not all related to court recommendations made in that year.Many foreign nationals were removed from the country under arrangements for supervised departure, following a court recommendation, without formal deportation.

asked the Secretary of State for the Home Department what was the number of deportation orders made during the period 1963 to 1974 on each of the following grounds: breach of landing conditions, family deportation, and because deportation was conducive to the public good, saying in the last case whether the reason was criminal convictions, suspicion of criminal activities or national security; and if he will analyse these figures for Commonwealth citizens, citizens of the Irish Republic, and aliens.

I regret that this information is not available and could not be obtained without disproportionate effort.
