asked the Secretary of State for Employment if he will state, for each day between 25 December 1984 and 10 January 1985, the number of applications for work permits under the special provisions for a limited number of places for unskilled and semi-skilled workers from the United Kingdom's dependent territories.
The number of applications between 1 and 10 January 1985 which fell for consideration under these special provisions is listed below. Because we considered only applications made in 1985, no record was kept of applications made between 25 and 31 December 1984.

asked the Secretary of State for Employment if he will indicate the date of application for each work permit granted under the provisions for a limited number of places for unskilled and semi-skilled workers from the United Kingdom's dependent territories.
The date of application for each work permit issued in 1985 under these provisions is as follows:
| Number of permits issued | |
| Date | Number |
| 1 January 1985 | 73 |
| 2 January 1985 | 42 |
| 3 January 1985 | 16 |
| 4 January 1985 | 4 |
| 5 January 1985 | 1 |
| 6 January 1985 | 0 |
| 7 January 1985 | 5 |
| 8 January 1985 | 6 |
Note: One of the permits issued has since been rescinded. Two applications made on 1 January 1985 and one application made on 8 January 1985 have yet to be decided. To date no permits have been issued for applications made after 8 January 1985.
