HC Deb 06 March 1995 vol 256 cc26-7W
Mr. Dalyell

To ask the Secretary of State for the Home Department on what date it was known to the Home Office that Mr. Ghadanfar was travelling on a false British passport under the name of Mr. Burtle of Redruth.

Dr. Godman

To ask the Secretary of State for the Home Department if he will set out in full his information about any false British passport of Abdul Fatah Ghadanfar, born on 12 December 1941 in Irbid, Jordan, alias Ronald John Burtle, born 24 October 1948, Redruth, Cornwall, UK Passport No. CO69456 E.

Mr. Howard

When the West German police arrested Ghadanfar in October 1988, they discovered a passport issued to Mr. Burtle in his possession, and notified the authorities in the United Kingdom. The passport had been issued a few months before it was reported stolen, which was shortly before Ghadanfar's arrest. It is not known, and thought unlikely, that he ever travelled using this passport.
