Written question asked by Lord Chan (Crossbench), in the House of Lords. It was answered by Baroness Scotland of Asthal (Labour) on Monday, 19 December 2005.
Foreign Nationals: Entry to UK
- Question
- Further to the Written Answer by the Baroness Scotland of Asthal on 6 December (WA 91) concerning the registration of Chinese nationals, on what basis relevant foreign nationals, who are given visas, are selected to enter the United Kingdom.
- Answer
-
Like anyone else who is subject to immigration control, a person who is a ““relevant foreign national”” will be given an entry clearance if he or she meets the relevant criteria as set out in the Immigration Rules, and there are no overriding reasons for refusing entry. By ““overriding reasons””, I mean the general grounds for refusing leave to enter which are set out in Part 9 of the rules.
