The Home Office said that more efficient procedures for detecting illegal entrants were responsible for the increase in the numbers of those expelled from Britain to 6,100 in 1992, from 5,600 in 1991. The slower processing of applications for settlement (leading to a reduction of 1,300 to 52,600 people allowed to stay permanently in 1992), was explained by "more detailed enquiries aimed at detecting bogus marriage cases". Almost 15,000 people were refused permission to enter Britain during the year.
