§ Mr. Clinton Davisasked the Secretary of State for the Home Department how many complaints have been received by his Department to the effect that British representatives overseas have been hindering applications for entry into the United Kingdom; and if he will make a statement.
§ Mr. KershawI have been asked to reply, because the operation of immigration and visa sections at Her Majesty's missions abroad is a responsibility of the Foreign and Commonwealth Office.
No precise records are maintained, but the numbers are not large. In the past two months two complaints have been received; one in the form of an anonymous and unsubstantiated document about our High Commission at Kampala and the other about our High Commission at Lagos, which was based on a misconception.
