asked the Secretary of State for the Home Department if he will publish figures of the proportion of successful to unsuccessful immigration appeals before immigration appeal tribunals in 1977.

Figures showing the proportion of successful to unsuccessful appeals before adjudicators in 1977 are as follows:

Per cent.
Allowed	Dismissed	Proportion	successful
1,273	7,098	1 to 5·5	15

These figures are not strictly comparable with those given in my reply to a Question by my hon. Friend on 19th January 1978 because information relating to appeals before the Immigration Appeals Tribunal is not yet available.—[Vol. 942, c. 280–81.]
