Answer
The Home Office do not routinely comment on individual immigration cases. The Home Office has obligations in law to protect this information. The Immigration Rules allow us to deny entry to those whose presence in this country is not considered to be conducive to the public good and the Home Secretary has the power personally to exclude an individual from the UK.
If we received a visa application from an individual whose name was published on the EU list, then this would be considered in our decision on whether to grant a visa.
