Question to the Home Office:

To ask Her Majesty’s Government, further to the Written Answer by Lord Bates on 16 December 2014 (HL3641), whether they have discussed the risk factors relating to the entry into the country of foreign citizens with the government of the United States; and if so, why their assessment of the risks posed by Israeli citizens entering the United Kingdom differs from the assessment made by the government of the United States about entry into that country.

The Government regularly discusses a range of immigration issues with the Government of the United States, including on migration. We do not disclose the details of such discussions.
