***************************************************************************************
     In response to media enquiries about a Member of Parliament of the United Kingdom (UK) having been denied entry earlier, the Government of the Hong Kong Special Administrative Region (HKSAR) today (April 14) issued the following statement:
      
     A HKSAR Government spokesman said that it is the Government's standing policy not to comment on individual cases. The Immigration Department will deal with each case in accordance with the relevant law and immigration policy. It is the duty of immigration officer to ask questions to ascertain that there is no doubt about the purpose of any visit. The person concerned knows best what he or she has done. It will be unhelpful to the person's case if the person refuses to answer questions put to him or her for that purpose.
      
     In addition, the Chief Secretary for Administration, Mr Chan Kwok-ki, today afternoon met with the Minister for Trade Policy and Economic Security, UK, Mr Douglas Alexander, who is visiting Hong Kong, to exchange views on the matter. Mr Chan also reiterated the stance of the HKSAR Government during the meeting.
