§ Mr. WinnickTo ask the Secretary of State for Foreign and Commonwealth Affairs when the hon. Member for Walsall, North will receive a reply to his letter of 6 November, ref. 20802/95. [4111]
§ Mr. HanleyThe hon. Member's letter of 6 November about Mrs. Parveen Akhtar in Pakistan was sent to the Home Office, rather than the Foreign and Commonwealth Office, which would normally deal with correspondence of this type.
The Foreign Office received a copy of the letter on 1 December.
The Foreign Office migration and visa correspondence unit has asked our high commission in Islamabad for details of the case and will send the hon. Member a substantive reply by 8 December at the latest.
