Baroness Gould of Potternewton

asked Her Majesty's Government:

What plans they have to replace the application forms for foreign nationals wishing to apply for leave to remain in the United Kingdom. [HL1449]

Lord Bassam of Brighton

The current application forms are valid for use until 14 April 2001. Revised forms will be prescribed before then and should be available by the end of March 2001. From the time they are issued until 14 April 2001, applications may be made on either the newly prescribed forms or the current versions. Only the new forms may be used for applications made on or after 15 April 2001. Copies will be placed in the Library as soon as they are available.
