Question to the Home Office:

To ask Her Majesty’s Government why the Home Office presenting officer at the appeal of Mrs Kiran in the Birmingham First-Tier Tribunal hearing before Judge Ford on 5 January, Appeal Number OA/05588/2014, was unable to access a copy of the entry clearance officer's bundle; and why those documents had not been served on the Tribunal or the Appellant.

The appeal bundle was sent via diplomatic bag by the British High Commission at Islamabad on 16 December 2014; however it was not available to the court in time for the hearing on 5 January 2015. The delay in sending the bundle was due to the need to consider representations from Mrs Kiran, made to the British High Commission, after the initial decision to refuse Mrs Kiran’s application.
