HC Deb 12 December 2000 vol 359 c114W
Sir Teddy Taylor

To ask the Secretary of State for the Home Department if he will make a statement clarifying the comments made by a senior official of the Joint Entry Clearance Unit to the JECU user panel on 29 November on the primary purpose arrangements. [142243]

She immediately corrected herself and apologised for any misunderstanding.
