§ 38. Mr. DobbinTo ask the Secretary of State for Foreign and Commonwealth Affairs what assessment he has made of Her Majesty's Government's visa policy in India and Bangladesh following the recent visit by the Minister of State. [108569]
§ Mr. VazOur entry clearance policy is designed to facilitate travel to the UK by visitors who qualify under the Immigration Rules, and to prevent the entry of those who do not.
I was impressed by the commitment of our staff in the Posts I visited to offer a fair, fast and firm visa service.
During my visit I announced the launch of a number of feasibility studies to examine how we might be able to improve the services we offer to people living a long way from our visa-issuing centres.
