HC Deb 05 May 1999 vol 330 cc414-5W
Mr. Vaz

To ask the Secretary of State for Foreign and Commonwealth Affairs if he will make a statement on the delay in answering the hon. Member for Leicester, East's letter dated 8 March, concerning Mr. Solanki, of 49 Yorkshire Road, whose wife has been refused admission under reference R/98/3895. [82935]

Mr. Fatchett

I regret the delay in answering my hon. Friend's letter. This was caused by staff shortages in the Migration and Visa Division Correspondence Unit during the month of March.
