(2) if he will reverse the deportation order on Mrs. Ganiat Lasoye; what professional advice and from which (a) bodies and (b) individuals he assessed prior to the decision to deport her; what assessment he has made of the adequacy of procedures followed in taking the decision to deport her; and if he will make a statement.

Mr. Kirkhope

I am satisfied that the original deportation decision was properly based. However, in view of the exceptional compassionate circumstances, we have concluded that deportation action should not now be taken.
