HC Deb 20 July 1988 vol 137 c699W
Mr. Skinner

To ask the Secretary of State for Foreign and Commonwealth Affairs why there are delays in processing applications for visas by Polish visitors to Britain; and if he will take immediate steps to rectify the delays.

Mr. Mellor

In the first five months of this year visa applications unexpectedly increased by 15 per cent. Measures have since been taken to reduce the delays that resulted.
