Written question asked by Lord Campbell-Savours (Labour), in the House of Lords. It was answered by Lord West of Spithead (Labour) on Friday, 25 April 2008.


Immigration: Georgia

Question
asked Her Majesty's Government:Further to the Written Answer by Lord Malloch-Brown on 19 February (WA 40), on how many occasions entry clearance officers in Tbilisi, Georgia, have reviewed decisions on appeal without sight of the grounds of appeal and additional evidence an applicant may have submitted.
Answer

This information is not available from visa records at our embassy in Tbilisi. However, I am advised that entry clearance staff at the embassy recall three occasions in the past three years when an entry clearance decision has been reviewed and an explanatory statement despatched to the Asylum and Immigration Tribunal (AIT) without a notice of appeal having been received. The AIT is responsible for ensuring that overseas posts receive appeal documents.
