Question to the Home Office:

To ask the Secretary of State for the Home Department, what progress has been made on visa applications for René González Sehwerert and Gerardo Hernández Nordelo; and whether such applications will be processed by 11 July 2016.

In order to comply with the Data Protection Act 1998, the Home Office is limited in what information it can provide when the request is made by someone who is not the applicant. The Home Office is therefore unable to provide the information requested.
