Viraj Mendis - cost of deportation
bacdoc January=1992

Hansard written answer 14.2.89 Col 116

Mr Douglas Hogg, Minister of State at the Home Office, told
Labour MP Alice Mahon that the additional costs of the operation
were in the region of ¼5,000, of which about ¼1,1OO were police
costs and about ¼3,900 immigration service and prison department
costs. For this purpose the operation includes the removal of
Mr. Mendis from the church; escorting him to London; his
detention for two nights at Her Majesty's prison Pentonville; and
his deportation under escort to Sri Lanka. Normal police funding
arrangements apply to the additional police costs. Immigration
service and prison department costs are home by the Home Office.
