HC Deb 31 October 1994 vol 248 cc950-1W
Dr. John Cunningham

To ask the Secretary of State for the Home Department how many Iraqi business men have entered the United Kingdom since October 1992.

Mr. Nicholas Baker

The information requested is not available, as business men—persons seeking to establish themselves in the United Kingdom in business or self-employment—are not identified separately in the statistics. Five hundred and fifty Iraqi nationals were given leave to enter as business visitors—persons seeking to transact business during their visit—in the period October 1992 to June 1994.
