HC Deb 18 November 1997 vol 301 cc97-8W
Mr. Soames

To ask the Secretary of State for the Home Department (1) what are the detailed procedures for following up asylum seekers after their entry into the United Kingdom;[15081]

(2) who is responsible for following up asylum seekers after their entry into the United Kingdom.[15084]

Mr. Mike O'Brien

Asylum seekers granted temporary admission by the Immigration Service may be required to report to the police or the Immigration Service on specified dates. It remains, however, the responsibility of all asylum seekers to maintain contact with the Immigration and Nationality Directorate and to inform the Directorate of any change of address or representative or of any other relevant change in circumstances.

A failure to attend for interview, to respond promptly to written inquires, or otherwise to comply in full with the procedures or the terms of temporary admission, may result in the application being refused.
