To ask Her Majesty's Government whether the United States radio host Mr Michael Savage has been banned from entering the United Kingdom; and, if so, why. [HL6210]

As was announced by the former Home Secretary in the press release of 5 May 2009, Michael Savage was excluded from the United Kingdom as he was considered to be engaging in unacceptable behaviour by seeking to provoke others to serious criminal acts and fostering hatred which might lead to inter-community violence. This exclusion remains in place.
