I wish to inform the Deputy that the cases of some 1200 applicants whose IBC/05 applications were refused remain to be considered in the context of Section 3 of the Immigration Act 1999.

Following the decisions of the Supreme Court which upheld the IBC/05 Scheme, and the refusal of applications under the Scheme, Officials within my Department are currently examining these cases and the persons concerned will be written to in this regard shortly.
