§ Mr. Maddenasked the Secretary of State for the Home Department how many fiancées have been granted admission to the United Kingdom since the change in August of the immigration rules requiring fiancées to have entry clearance; how many fiancées have been granted admission although they had not been granted entry clearance; and if the passports of such fiancées have been suitably endorsed in all cases.
§ Mr. Waddington[pursuant to his reply, 2 December 1985, c. 26The latest available information relates to September and October, when about 150 fiancées were given leave to enter the United Kingdom, of whom a small proportion were granted admission although they had not been granted entry clearance. An additional number who did not hold entry clearances were refused leave to enter but are receiving further consideration in the light of hon. Members' representations.
All non-EC passengers given leave to enter the country have their passports endorsed at the port of entry giving the date, port of entry and conditions, if any.
