Mrs. Fyfe

To ask the Secretary of State for Foreign and Commonwealth Affairs if he will permit Sudarga de Silva, of Sri Lanka, to visit the United Kingdom to receive private medical treatment. [9134]

It is policy on grounds of confidentiality for Ministers not to comment publicly on individual applications for entry clearance. I will therefore write separately to the hon. Member.
