Immigration Controls
The question
To ask the Secretary of State for the Home Department, what guidance her Department issues on inviting people sanctioned by foreign Governments to the UK.
Answered by Dan Jarvis
The Immigration Rules provide for the refusal of entry clearance, permission to enter and permission to stay on general grounds, regardless of the category in which an individual makes an application.
A person will usually be refused on general grounds if there is any evidence in their background, immigration history, criminal records or past behaviour which shows that they should not be allowed to enter or stay in the UK.
Guidance is published on Gov.UK.
