Question to the Home Office:
To ask the Secretary of State for the Home Department, how many of the people named on the US Magnitsky list were granted UK visas in each of the last three years.
If an individual on the US Cardin list applied for a visa, we would consider this in our decision on whether to grant entry clearance to the UK.
We cannot provide further details as we do not routinely comment on individual immigration cases. The Home Office has obligations in law to protect this information. The Immigration Rules allow us to deny entry to those whose presence in this country is not considered to be conducive to the public good and the Home Secretary has the power personally to exclude an individual from the UK.
