I refer to my responses to Parliamentary Questions, numbers 32499/06 of 12 October, 2006 and 33842/06 of 19 October, 2006 where I advised that my Department wrote to this applicant's legal representative inviting them to lodge further representations, regarding an application for leave to remain. To date, this Department has not received a response. My Department wrote again on 31/01/2007 to the applicant's legal representative, to again invite up to date representations.
I expect the case file in this matter, to be submitted to me for decision in due course. This decision will be taken having regard to considerations, specified in section 3(6) of the Immigration Act 1999, as amended. These considerations include matters relating to the common good, the person's family and domestic circumstances, as well as humanitarian considerations. Consideration will also be given to the prohibition of refoulement, which is contained in section 5 of the Refugee Act 1996, as amended.
