§ Mr. Maxwell-Hyslopasked the Secretary of State for the Home Department what has been the result of the visa application made by Mr. R. J. Garcia which was referred to his Department on 8 August 1986, after being processed by the British embassy in Manila.
§ Mr. WaddingtonWe regret the delay which has occurred in this case, due to the papers having been overlooked in the Immigration Department. A reply was sent to the British embassy in Manila today instructing that Mr. Garcia's application should be refused. Mr. Garcia will have a right of appeal against this decision, exerciseable from abroad.
