Geert Wilders

Question
To ask Her Majesty's Government whether they will allow Mr Geert Wilders to visit the United Kingdom in a private capacity.
Answer

Any attempt by Mr Wilders to seek admission to the UK in the future would be decided on its own merits and in the light of the circumstances at that time. Factors that would be considered would include the purpose of his intended visit and any impact on our public policy of preventing extremists intent on stirring up hatred and division from entering the UK.
