PARLIAMENTARY WRITTEN QUESTION
Travel Restrictions (6 November 2014)

To ask the Secretary of State for the Home Department, with reference to the Answer of 7 July 2010 to Question 5608, on how many occasions visa bans have been used to prevent people from each country of origin considered to be involved in corruption from travelling to the UK in the period since that Answer was given.

Asked by:
Steve Barclay (Conservative)

Since July 2010, two people have been excluded by the Secretary of State for corruption. It would exceed the disproportionate cost threshold to provide a further breakdown of how many people have been denied a visa to travel to the UK due to corruption. Any application for entry clearance or leave to enter from a person who has been excluded from the UK by the Secretary of State must be refused under the Immigration Rules.
