§ Lord Aveburyasked Her Majesty's Government:
Whether in the light of the case of Mrs. Anwar Ditta, they will now conduct blood tests on Mr. Riaz Ahmed, Home Office reference A 242497, whose application to join his father in the United Kingdom made originally on 15th February 1972 was refused on the grounds that the entry certificate officer did not believe that the relationship was as claimed.
§ Lord BelsteadIt is not our practice to conduct blood tests to establish relationship for the purposes of the immigration rules. It is open to an applicant for entry clearance to submit whatever evidence he wishes in support of his case.
