§ Ms. WalleyTo ask the Secretary of State for the Home Department when an application for entry clearance made on 2 July 1992 to the Islamabad high commission can be processed; what is the average waiting time for an interview with the immigration service; and how long the average waiting time is for the report to be sent to the Foreign and Commonwealth Office and for a decision to be made.
§ Mr. Charles WardleWhere the entry clearance officer refers an application for inquiries in the United Kingdom by the immigration service, these inquiries should normally be completed within three months of receipt. If the hon. Member is concerned about the time taken to deal with any individual case, I shall be willing to look into it.
