Immigration Controls: Demonstrations
The question
To ask the Secretary of State for the Home Department, pursuant to the Answers of 29 May 2026 to Questions 836 and 837 on Immigration Controls: Demonstrations, whether she approved the decision to refuse entry to foreign nationals intending to attend the Unite the Kingdom rally on 16 May 2026.
Answered by Mike Tapp
The Home Office does not routinely comment on individual cases.
The Home Secretary has the power to exclude a person who is not a British citizen if their presence in the UK is not conducive to the public good. The Immigration Rules also provide for the refusal of Electronic Travel Authorisations, entry clearance or permission at the border if a person’s character, conduct or associations mean it is undesirable to grant them entry to the UK. Decisions are made in accordance with our obligations under domestic and international law.
