HC Deb 20 July 1999 vol 335 c507W
Mr. Campbell-Savours

To ask the Secretary of State for Foreign and Commonwealth Affairs if Mr. Michael Ashcroft has used a diplomatic passport for entry to the United Kingdom and enjoyed diplomatic immunity within the UK in the last five years(a) when declaring himself to be an Ambassador on entry and (b) when entering not having so declared himself. [92070]

Mr. Tony Lloyd

Records are not normally kept of visits to the UK by diplomatic passport holders and we have none of Mr. Ashcroft having entered the UK using a diplomatic passport. Nor do we have any record of Mr. Ashcroft having sought immunity at any time over the last five years.
