HC Deb 13 March 1989 vol 149 c26W
Mr. Madden

To ask the Secretary of State for Foreign and Commonwealth Affairs when Mushtaq Ahmed, ref. GV100/4412, was interviewed at the British embassy at Islamabad in connection with his entry clearance application to enter the United Kingdom; when the entry clearance officer who interviewed him wrote to the United Kingdom immigration service requesting information about Mr. Ahmed; when the entry clearance officer sent a reminder as no reply to his request had been received; and when he expects to take a decision on Mr. Ahmed's application.

Mr. Eggar

Mr. Mustaq Ahmed was interviewed at the British embassy at Islamabad on 30 November 1987. The entry clearance officer wrote to the immigration service on 7 December 1987 requesting that Mr. Ahmed's fiancee be interviewed. Due to an oversight, no reminder was sent to the immigration service until 6 March 1989. The entry clearance officer has now taken a decision on this application, which is in the process of being conveyed to Mr. Ahmed.

Mr. Madden
