These requests are being considered in the light of the current policy on revocation. I am therefore unable to comment on any aspects of this proposal as to do so is likely to be prejudicial. As a decision is reached however the Secretary of State will take into account the matters raised in the requests, including those set out in your correspondence of 1 March. A decision will be issued shortly.</p> answering member constituency Rossendale and Darwen answering member printed Jake Berry question first answered 17/05/2018 09:02:27 answering member 4060 label Biography information for Sir Jake Berry
