They were among 23,000 children from 357 schools who were taking part in Schools Birdwatch yesterday. For information on weekend events, contact World Birdwatch Hotline 01273 299399. To take their seats the two men have to swear an oath of allegiance to the Queen - which they have refused to do. The judge said the Speaker's ruling lay within the realm of the internal arrangements of the Commons and was therefore not subject to a judicial review. Mr McGuinness had sought to challenge a ruling by Speaker Betty Boothroyd that he and Sinn Fein president Gerry Adams, MP for West Belfast, could not use the facilities of the Commons because they had not taken their seats. Sinn Fein said yesterday that it was prepared to fight all the way to the European Court to win access to the facilities of the House of Commons after Martin McGuinness lost the first round of a court battle yesterday to challenge the oath of allegiance to the Queen. The party insisted it would not give up after Mr Justice Kerr ruled in the High Court in Belfast that the Mid-Ulster MP could not apply for a judicial review. Ms Christian said: "On Christmas Day a High Court judge, Mr Justice Clark, granted a telephone application for leave to move for judicial review of the refusal to enter and made an interim order restraining the Secretary of State from removing Mr Honegan from the UK. Mr Honegan was granted temporary admission to the UK until January 17, 1994, and released from detention a few minutes after midnight on December 26, 1993."Claude Moraes, of the Joint Council for the Welfare of Immigrants, said: "This case is important because Britain now detains more people under immigration powers, in the Immigration Act 1971, than any other EU country.".

The Home Office is currently considering whether to introducing a licensing system for private security firms, which currently go unchecked.. A West Indian detained by immigration officers after arriving in Britain on holiday accepted pounds 20,000 agreed damages from the Home Office to settle his claim for false imprisonment. Peter Honegan, 32, a motor mechanic from Jamaica, was detained at Gatwick airport on 21 December 1993 after arriving to spend Christmas and the New year with relatives. His solicitor Louise Christian told Mr Justice Morland in the High Court in London yesterday that Mr Honegan, who had a return ticket for 17 January 1994, was taken to a detention centre. He was served with a notice refusing him leave to enter the UK and detained. On Christmas Eve he was moved to a cell in Gatwick police station. An Avon and Somerset Police spokesman said: "We would not support this sort of action.

We have found in the past that this sort of information is based on supposition and rumour."The incident is the latest example of vigil anti action by private guards. One man is described as a killer. One of the named men plans to take legal action against the firm. He strongly denied the claim that he is "a major receiver of stolen goods, the number one criminal in Sea Mills and violent" He said: "I will be seeing my solicitor about this. The worst thing I have ever done was steal a moped when I was 15."Andrew Burke, who founded SAS Patrol Group, said: "I stand by everything that is on the posters Let them sue me, the more the merrier Everything on the posters is true anyway. I hope they've got van loads of money as I've got special libel insurance covering me for pounds 10 million.
