HC Deb 17 November 1983 vol 48 cc510-1W
Mr. Janner

asked the Secretary of State for the Home Department what steps he is taking to ensure that the terms of undertakings offered by visitors to the United Kingdom or their sponsors are appropriate; and whether he will give written instructions to immigration officers to ensure that result.

Mr. Waddington

My right hon. and learned Friend has arranged for the matter to be reviewed. Appropriate additions to the instructions to immigration officers will be issued in due course.

Mr. Janner

asked the Secretary of State for the Home Department what information is available other than centrally about the number of occasions on which written undertakings have been obtained from passengers or their sponsors.

Mr. Waddington

Written undertakings are recorded only in the personal files relating to the passengers concerned.

Mr. Janner

asked the Secretary of State for the Home Department whether he will place in the Library a copy of the printed leaflet giving details of the procedure to be followed by visitors to the United Kingdom seeking extensions or variations of the leave or conditions imposed.

Mr. Waddington

Yes. Copies of the leaflet—HO Form IS115—have now been placed in the Library.
