In common with other failed asylum seekers, Tamils found not to be in need of international protection after consideration of their case, and who have exhausted any appeal rights they might have within the UK, are expected to leave the UK and may have their removal enforced.

Business Objects refreshed 18 October 2006
The information contained in the lists refers to main applicants only, not their dependants and is based on figures being rounded up to the nearest 10. This information has not been quality assured, is not a National Statistic and should be treated as provisional management information.
We will consult shortly on the establishment of a Migration Advisory Committee, which would advise Government on where in the economy migration might sensibly fill skills gaps. We will make clear when we consult on the committee what we think its remit should be, including how it relates to the proposals for a skills advisory body set out in “Controlling our Borders: Making Migration Work for Britain”.
The information is not available in the format requested and could be obtained by examination of individual records only at a disproportionate cost.
