Mr. Maclean
To ask the Secretary of State for the Home Department how many Kosovans have appealed for asylum in the United Kingdom per month since 1 January 1998. [80448]
Mr. Mike O'Brien
The available information given in the table relates to applications for asylum submitted from nationals of the Federal Republic of Yugoslavia. To break this down into the number of Kosovans could be obtained only by examination of individual case records and is, therefore, available only at disproportionate cost.
