HC Deb 02 July 1992 vol 210 c692W
Mr. Terry Davis

To ask the Secretary of State for Foreign and Commonwealth Affairs how often the deputy high commission in Karachi has asked for information or files from the high commission in Islamabad to deal with applications for entry clearance during the last 12 months.

Mr. Lennox-Boyd

The information requested could not be provided except at disproportionate expense. The deputy high commission in Karachi would need to check manually 25,000 case files.
