HL Deb 26 February 1981 vol 417 cc1207-8WA
Lord Granville of Eye

asked Her Majesty's Government:

Why the application of Mr. Grégoire Salmanowitz for a residence permit is being delayed, in view of the fact that he has long-standing commercial interests in the United Kingdom.

Lord Belstead

The noble Lord wrote on 3rd January in support of Mr. Salmanowitz's application but at that time no such application had been made and naturally could not be traced. Mr. Salmanowitz's solicitors made a formal application on 27th January, which has been granted.
