HC Deb 18 March 1985 vol 75 cc356-7W
Mr. Madden

asked the Secretary of State for the Home Department how many husbands have been refused entry clearance on medical grounds in each year from 1979 to 1984.

Mr. Waddington

Regular information on reasons for refusal of entry clearance has been collected centrally only for the Indian subcontinent from 1983. Apart from the case which the hon. Member has drawn to my attention, I am not aware of any husband refused entry clearance on medical grounds.
