Question to the Home Office:

To ask the Secretary of State for the Home Department, whether there is an order in force that would prevent Pavel Karpov from entering the UK on or before 1 December 2016.

We have a long established practice of not routinely commenting on individual immigration cases. Reasons for this include data protection.

We can however confirm that foreign nationals requiring leave to enter the UK must meet the requirements of the Immigration Rules in the category of entry sought and that, by their own actions, must not have brought themselves within scope of the general grounds for refusal in the Immigration Rules.

Evidence that an individual has been involved in organised crime or human rights abuses would be taken into account when a visa application is considered. Individuals will be denied entry to the UK where there is evidence to show that their presence would not be considered conducive to the public good.
