Siobhain McDonagh – 2016 Parliamentary Question to the Home Office

The below Parliamentary question was asked by Siobhain McDonagh on 2016-09-02.

To ask the Secretary of State for the Home Department, what steps her Department took to assess the grounds for granting a visa to Mufti Hanif Qureshi.

Mr Robert Goodwill

All visa applications are considered on their individual merits and in line with the Immigration Rules.

In order to safeguard an individual’s personal information and comply with the Data Protection Act 1998 the Home Office is limited in what information it can provide when the request is made by someone who is not the applicant. The Home Office is therefore unable to provide the information requested.
