Question to the Foreign, Commonwealth & Development Office:

To ask Her Majesty’s Government what representations they have made to the US Embassy concerning the removal of Juhel Miah on a flight to the US; and what reason has been given for his removal.

Mr Miah was removed from a flight leaving Reykjavik. Officials have discussed Mr Miah's case with the US Embassy in London and the Ministry of Foreign Affairs in Iceland. The US authorities do not comment on individual cases but have confirmed the incident is not related to President Trump's January 27 Executive Order, which has in any case been suspended. We have provided Mr Miah with consular support and will continue to offer assistance to any British nationals that require it, but US immigration decisions are a matter for the US authorities.
