1.
To obtain a preliminary Ministerial steer on the line to be taken take by MVD's observers at the 9 September meeting of the Board of the Home Office Immigration and Nationality Department
(IND). (The Board will consider proposals to tighten the provisions of the WHM scheme.
Because Mr Lennox-Boyd will be
away between 22 August and 6 September, I have to seek guidance before the issues have been discussed interdepartmentally as thoroughly as would be normal).
Recommendation:
2. I recommend that:
(a) we accept the Home Office proposal that people admitted to the UK as visitors should not be allowed to switch to WHM
status;
