Oral Answers to Questions

Baroness Stuart of Edgbaston Excerpts

Monday 9th November 2015 Commons Chamber

[Ms Gisela Stuart (Birmingham, Edgbaston) (Lab)]

What advice should I give to my constituent, who is currently in a homeless shelter? He came from Jamaica in the early ’60s with his family. He never went abroad, and so has never had to prove his immigration status. He cannot afford to apply for British citizenship right now, but says he cannot be rehoused because there is a requirement for him to prove his immigration status.

[Mr Jones]

I thank the right hon. Lady for bringing that case to the House. If she writes to me with the details, I will certainly look into it.
