To ask the Secretary of State for the Home Department if he will make it his policy to review his Department's position on applications for asylum and extension of leave to remain in the United Kingdom by applicants from Angola.

All applications for asylum, regardless of nationality, are carefully considered in accordance with our obligations under the 1951 United Nations convention relating to the status of refugees. Each case is assessed on its merits taking account of all the circumstances of the particular case, including conditions in the country of origin. We are keeping a close watch on developments in Angola.
