Pamela Nash – 2014 Parliamentary Question to the Home Office

The below Parliamentary question was asked by Pamela Nash on 2014-04-02.

To ask the Secretary of State for the Home Department, if she will implement travel bans against those who have been actively promoting the Uganda Anti-Homosexuality Act 2014.

James Brokenshire

The Secretary of State has a non-statutory power to exclude from the UK any
foreign national whose presence is considered not conducive to the public good.
The power to exclude is broad but is normally used in circumstances involving
national security, ‘unacceptable behaviour’ (extremism), international
relations and foreign policy and serious organised crime.

Where the Government identifies or is made aware of any individual who may have
crossed the threshold for exclusion, we will consider carefully the evidence in
the case before the Secretary of State decides whether or not to take action.
