Review Of Entry Clearance Decisions
EDM number 474 in 2000-01, proposed by Vincent Cable on 21/03/2001.
That this House believes that whatever other criticisms are being made of the conduct of the honourable Member for Leicester East, he is to be congratulated on the thorough and fair manner in which he has investigated refusals of entry clearance by United Kingdom embassies and high commissions and assisted honourable Members and their constituents to have cases reviewed; notes that many refusals are harsh, bureaucratic and excessively rigid and merit Ministerial review; and calls on the Foreign Secretary to ensure that he and his Ministerial colleagues maintain critical Ministerial review of entry clearance decisions.
This motion has been signed by a total of 9 MPs.
