I presume that the Deputy is referring to the clearance of foreign divorces in respect of persons who are proposing to remarry in this country.

Statistics of the kind referred to by the Deputy are not routinely maintained. However, the statistics sought are currently being compiled in the General Register Office and these will be made available to the Deputy as soon as possible.
