To ask the Secretary of State for the Home Department further to the Prime Minister’s Statement of 14 November 2007 on national security, how many of the 24 foreign nationals then subject to deportation proceedings on national security grounds (a) have been deported, (b) have not been deported following a decision by a court, (c) have been given the right to remain in the UK and (d) have cases which are outstanding. (206254)

Since the Prime Minister’s statement of 14 November 2007, of the 24 foreign nationals then subject to deportation proceedings on national security grounds:

Twelve are no longer the subject of deportation proceedings following the Court of Appeal’s ruling on the test cases of two Libyan nationals. Of these 12, eight previously had the right to remain in the UK and continue to do so. All 12 of the cases are under review as to their future immigration status. Twelve others remain subject to ongoing deportation proceedings and are at various stages of the appeals process.
