Racial Discrimination (Entry Clearance Officers)

HC Deb 23 November 1987 vol 123 c5W

Mr. Bernie Grant

To ask the Secretary of State for Foreign and Commonwealth Affairs what procedures exist for the investigation of complaints of racial discrimination, including cultural discrimination, on the part of entry clearance officers.

Mr. Eggar

Any complaint of any nature about the conduct of staff overseas is fully investigated at senior management level appropriate to the seriousness of the allegation. If necessary, the head of post himself will undertake the investigation and report to London.
