HC Deb 03 February 1994 vol 236 cc873-4W
Mr. Madden

To ask the Secretary of State for the Home Department what discretion immigration officers may exercise in deciding what period of leave to grant; and for how long those granted leave to enter may lawfully remain in the United Kingdom.

Mr. Charles Wardle

The immigration rules provide certain periods for which a person seeking entry in various categories should normally be admitted. A person who has lawfully obtained leave to enter will normally be allowed to remain, provided he or she complies with any conditions attached to the leave, until the end of the period granted or the expiry of any variation of that leave.
