Immigration: Yemen

Volume 506: debated on Tuesday 23 February 2010

To ask the Secretary of State for the Home Department how many citizens of Yemen have been refused entry to the UK on grounds of links to terrorism in each of the last five years. (315928)

In the last five years, a total of two Yemeni nationals have been refused entry to the UK on the basis that their presence in the UK would not be conducive to the public good. This category of refusal includes, but is not limited to, those nationals suspected of having links to terrorism.

Both of these refusals took place in 2009 and resulted in the individuals being removed from the UK.
