Proceeding contribution from Ann Widdecombe (Conservative) in the House of Commons on Wednesday, 24 March 2010. It occurred during Adjournment debate on British High Commission in South Africa.

British High Commission in South Africa

I absolutely agree that there is a clear rule that if someone wants to enter the country on the basis of marriage, they must apply from outwith the country. The Minister will know that I have upheld that rule consistently, and that I have advised constituents to go back. However, the point that I keep making is that the family tried that, and Mrs. Acott simply says, "What happens if I go back? I will be exactly where I was when I was trying to leave."
