HC Deb 26 November 1993 vol 233 c228W
Mr. Madden

To ask the Secretary of State for the Home Department how many times to date since May 1990, Mr. Amanullah Khan, a Pakistani national, has been interviewed by immigration officials, police, or representatives of other United Kingdom agencies within United Kingdom jurisdiction; on which such occasions Mr. Khan was(a) detained and (b) allowed as a transit passenger to continue his journey outside United Kingdom jurisdiction; and what action United Kingdom authorities took to notify other countries of Mr. Khan's travel arrangements.

Mr. Charles Wardle

Mr. Khan arrived at Manchester international airport on 15 October 1993 while in transit from Islamabad to Amsterdam. He was spoken to by police officers in the normal course of their port duties. As a transit passenger, he had no contact with any immigration officials or with any other United Kingdom agency. He was not detained and was allowed to proceed with his journey. The Dutch and Belgian authorities were aware of Mr. Khan's arrival on their territory. This is the only occasion since May 1990 on which Mr. Khan is known to have been within United Kingdom jurisdiction.
