Mr. Deakins
asked the Secretary of State for the Home Department how many British citizens were strip-searched by officials on arrival in Britain from overseas in 1984.
Mr. Waddington
No British citizens arriving in the United Kingdom in 1984 were subjected to a strip search by Home Office officials.I am advised by my right hon. Friend the Chancellor of the Exchequer that no central record is kept of strip searches carried out by customs officers.
