Question to the Home Office:

To ask the Secretary of State for the Home Department, how many of the 35 individuals named under the US Sergei Magnitsky Rule of Law Accountability Act 2012 have been granted UK visas since the murder of Sergei Magnitsky in 2009.

The UK has a long-established practice of not routinely commenting on the details of individual immigration cases.

As we have previously made clear, the Magnitsky case remains of serious concern to the UK Government.

Wherever we have evidence that individuals were involved in the Magnitsky case that evidence is taken very carefully into account in considering visa applications.
