§ Beverley Hughes[holding answer 9 July 2002]: The letter of 23 January was received by the Immigration and Nationality Directorate (IND) on 25 January 2002 and a reply was sent on 2 May 2002. There is no trace of IND receiving a letter dated 23 March 2002, although a letter dated 25 March 2002 with copies of an application and other documents was received on 27 March 2002. Unfortunately, these documents were not linked to the file until after the reply was sent.
The application is now being considered urgently and Mr. D M's representatives will be contacted as soon as a decision has been made. I am sorry for the delay in IND actioning this case.
