§ Mr. MaddenTo ask the Secretary of State for Foreign and Commonwealth Affairs when a decision is to be made on the application of Qaiser Khan, Ref. CON/3343, to the post in Islamabad for British citizenship; when his application was submitted; when he was interviewed; and if he will make a statement.
§ Mr. Lennox-BoydQaiser Khan's application form, which was dated 9 October 1989, was submitted to the British high commission at Islamabad on 6 December 1989. In interview on 27 February 1990, the family were asked to produce a further document in support of the application. To date, that document has not been received and the application therefore remains pending.
I have asked the high commission for a full report on the case and will write to the hon. Member when it is to hand.
