Question to the Foreign, Commonwealth & Development Office:

To ask Her Majesty's Government whether they intend to discuss with the government of Morocco why the Reverend Colin Dye was recently refused entry to Morocco, and why he was held overnight and then placed on a flight to Rome without any entries on his passport or a copy of the paperwork he was obliged to sign.

Her Majesty's Government cannot interfere in another country's immigration procedures, in the same way that we would not allow them to interfere in ours. Reverend Colin Dye did not request consular assistance while in Morocco; therefore the Foreign and Commonwealth Office have no information about his deportation to Rome.
