HC Deb 18 December 1990 vol 183 cc120-1W
Mr. Archer

To ask the Secretary of State for Foreign and Commonwealth Affairs what form of application to British posts overseas is made by employers of domestic servants desirous of visiting the United Kingdom together with those servants; and what details they are required to give of their domestic servants.

Mr. Lennox-Boyd

Under present arrangements, unless the domestic servant, who must be aged 16 or over, is a visa national, an application to a British visa-issuing post overseas is not required for a visit to the United Kingdom. Visa nationals are required to obtain the appropriate visa at a British visa-issuing post. In such cases, the domestic servant is required to produce documentary evidence from the employer confirming that the servant is already in the service of the employer abroad, and that adequate support and accommodation will be provided in the United Kingdom.
