HC Deb 23 November 1982 vol 32 c405W
Mr. Newens

asked the Secretary of State for the Home Department if he will reconsider his decision not to allow Yilmaz Güney, the Turkish film director, to be admitted to the United Kingdom on the grounds that, notwithstanding his conviction on a criminal charge, he is a political refugee.

Mr. Raison

If Mr. GÜney were to seek entry to the United Kingdom he would fall to be refused leave to enter under paragraph 74 of the Immigration Rules (HC 394), notwithstanding the fact that he has been recognised as a refugee. My right hon. Friend does not propose to authorise the admission of Mr. GÜney exceptionally to the Rules.
