- Answer
-
Keith Vaz: To ask the Secretary of State for the Home Department how many times he has exercised his discretion on compassionate grounds and granted indefinite leave to enter in 2004. [194376] Mr. Browne: Data on the number of persons granted indefinite leave to enter the UK on compassionate grounds is not available. Since December 2003 persons seeking leave to enter at a port for stays of more than six months are required to hold a United Kingdom Residence Permit. It is not possible to say how many of those were granted on compassionate grounds. There is no power of discretion to grant leave to enter for more than six months at a port of entry.
