Question to the Home Office:
To ask the Secretary of State for the Home Department, what steps the Government has taken to ensure that Uighur Muslims are allowed to enter the UK if they possess a valid UK visa.
All UK visa applications are considered on their individual merits and in line with UK immigration rules and guidance with the onus on the applicant to demonstrate they satisfy the immigration rules.
A Uighur Muslim individual with a UK visa follows the same entry procedures as all other visa holders.
After obtaining a visa all individuals need to establish their eligibility for admission at the UK border. Nationals of non-EEA countries must seek Leave to Enter in accordance with Immigration Rules from a Border Force officer. Ordinarily passenger passports or national identity cards are checked electronically at the border, but there are also times when extra checks are conducted at the discretion of Border Forcer entry officers.
