Miss Richardson
asked the Secretary of State for the Home Department how many applications for bail have been made to the Immigration Appeals Tribunal and quarter of 1978; and how many such the immigration adjudicators in each applications were successful.
Mr. John
The only readily available figures relate to bail applications made to adjudicators at the appeals centre at Harmondsworth. I regret that comprehensive figures could be obtained only at disproportionate cost. The Harmondsworth figures are as follows:
| 1978 | Number of applications for bail | Number of cases in which bail granted |
| 1st quarter | 7 | 4 |
| 2nd quarter | 5 | 3 |
| 3rd quarter | 10 | 6 |
| 4th Quarter | 6 | 4 |
Note: The number of applications heard is not necessarily equal to the number of persons applying for bail since one person may make more than one application.
