    The Permanent Secretary was not under a legal duty to have regard to the specific matters alleged by the applicants when deciding whether to suspend or rescind the deportation order under s20(1)(a) and ss54–55, he had considered the applicants' representations and was entitled to conclude that the seriousness of the offences and the public interest justified maintaining the life deportation order; the judicial review application was not reasonably arguable and is dismissed.
