Baroness Miller of Chilthorne Domer – 2014 Parliamentary Question to the Home Office

The below Parliamentary question was asked by Baroness Miller of Chilthorne Domer on 2014-06-10.

To ask Her Majesty’s Government, further to the Written Answer by Baroness Warsi on 14 May (WA 525) on the issue of children accused of witchcraft in Nigeria, whether their policy includes any consideration of future visits to the United Kingdom by Helen Ukpabio; and, if so, whether they will publish that consideration.

Lord Taylor of Holbeach

It is the general policy of the Home Office not to disclose or discuss, to a third party, personal information about another person’s immigration status unless there is a substantial public interest in doing so. This is because the Home Office has obligations in law to protect this information. But I can confirm that any visa application from Ms Ukpabio would be considered in accordance with the Immigration Rules.
