§ Mr. MaddenTo ask the Secretary of State for the Home Department when Mr. Habid Ur Rehman, the sponsor of his wife, Mrs. Amina Bibi, who has applied to the United Kingdom post in Islamabad to join her husband in the United Kingdom—Ref: IMM/C 3835—will be interviewed by immigration officials at Leeds/Bradford airport; when his Department recorded any request from Islamabad for Mr. Rehman to be interviewed; and if he will make a statement.
§ Mr. Nicholas BakerThe request from the British high commission in Islamabad for an interview with Mr. Rehman was received by the Home Office on 7 November 1994 and the papers are, at present, in a queue at Leeds/Bradford airport awaiting the arrangements of an interview. There are other similar cases at Leeds/Bradford airport which have been awaiting a sponsor interview longer than Mr. Rehman and to offer him an earlier interview date would serve only to disadvantage others in the queue.
