Oral Answers to Questions

Debate between Seema Malhotra and Graham Leadbitter

Monday 24th February 2025 Commons Chamber

[Graham Leadbitter (Moray West, Nairn and Strathspey) (SNP)]

T4. My constituent Kia McNicoll is a mother of four children, and her three-year-old, Patryk, was recently diagnosed with cancer. Kia’s mother-in-law recently applied for a visa extension so that she can help the family with childcare through these most horrific of circumstances, but her application was rejected. Forgive me, Mr Speaker, but I cannot tell the difference between this Labour Government and the Tories who came before them. Will the Minister commit to looking at this application again, so that my constituent can focus on what matters most: the health of her son?

[The Parliamentary Under-Secretary of State for the Home Department (Seema Malhotra)]

I thank the hon. Member for his question, and if he wants to write to me about that case, I will be very happy to look at it.
