Farzad Bazoft (Hansard, 28 March 1990)

§ Mr. Allason
To ask the Secretary of State for the Home Department under what name Farzad Bazoft first entered the United Kingdom.

§ Mr. Peter Lloyd
On entry the name was recorded as Farzad Robati-Bazoft.

§ Mr. Dicks
To ask the Secretary of State for the Home Department (1) on what grounds the recommendation of the judge for the deportation of Farzad Bazoft was overruled;
(2) what evidence was available at the time the decision was made not to deport Mr. Farzad Bazoft to indicate that his life would be at risk if he were to return to Iran; and what was the source of that evidence.

§ Mr. Peter Lloyd
It was decided not to deport Mr. Bazoft to Iran because of documentary evidence that he would be arrested by the Iranian authorities because of his political opinions. It is not the practice to disclose sources of evidence in individual asylum cases.
