HC Deb 03 February 2000 vol 343 c698W
Ms Oona King

To ask the Secretary of State for the Home Department what is his estimate of the number of children(a) from the Indian sub-continent and (b) from the rest of the world wrongly refused settlement by his Department on the basis of not being related as claimed, who are now able to prove their relationship through DNA testing.

Mrs. Roche

I regret that there is no reliable way of assessing the numbers of such children, who were refused entry clearance in good faith on the evidence available at the time.
