HC Deb 25 May 2000 vol 350 c625W
Mr. Dismore

To ask the Secretary of State for the Home Department if he will(a) investigate the immigration status of Sheikh Abu Hamza and Sheikh Omar Bakri Mohammed and (b) request the United States authorities to investigate the immigration status of Muhammed Jameel; and if he will make a statement. [123662]

Mr. Straw

The person referred to as Sheikh Abu Hamza was granted British nationality in 1986. Omar Bakri Mohammed was granted infinite leave to remain in the United Kingdom in 1993. The immigration status of any individual in the United States of America is a matter for the United States of America authorities.
