Points of Order

Martin Docherty-Hughes Excerpts

Wednesday 1st February 2023 Commons Chamber

[Mr Deputy Speaker]

I thank the hon. Lady for her point of order. It now stands on the record.

[Martin Docherty-Hughes (West Dunbartonshire) (SNP)]

On a point of order, Mr Deputy Speaker. An essential part of being a Member of this House is to represent and support our constituents when they approach us for assistance. Members on all sides engage, or hope to engage, with UK Visas and Immigration on a regular basis through what is called the MP engagement team. My team and I have been seeking to engage with the MP engagement team since September 2022, without a single response. Given that it is my duty, and that of Members across the House, to support our constituents in their engagement with UKVI, what would you advise me and other Members to do on behalf of our constituents when there is an utter lack of engagement from UKVI’s MP engagement team?
