Immigration Controls: Proscribed Organisations

Asked by Suella BravermanReform UKHome OfficeTabled Answered 7 May 2025UIN 48456

The question

To ask the Secretary of State for the Home Department, what assessment her Department has made of the potential merits of restricting access to the UK of foreign nationals who have expressed public support for proscribed terrorist organisations.

Answered by Dan Jarvis

The Immigration Rules already provide for the refusal of entry clearance, permission to enter and permission to stay 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.
