HC Deb 23 November 1992 vol 214 c456W
Mr. Milburn

To ask the Secretary of State for Foreign and Commonwealth Affairs if he will list the posts in Bosnia and Slovenia where visa applications can be made for entry to the United Kingdom.

Mr. Lennox-Boyd

There are none.

Mr. Milburn

To ask the Secretary of State for Foreign and Commonwealth Affairs if he will list the number of visa applications that have been refused from Bosnian citizens who are(a) parents, (b) grandparents, (c) siblings and (d) other relatives of people in the United Kingdom.

Mr. Lennox-Boyd

The information is not at present available. Such statistics are normally provided monthly by posts abroad: since the visa regime was not applied to Bosnian citizens until earlier this month, to obtain them now would involve disproportionate cost.

I will, however, ensure that the hon. Member receives the information he requires when it is to hand.
