It was replaced with rule 9.3.1 in Part 9 of the Immigration Rules laid on 22 October 2020. This provides for the mandatory refusal of permission to stay where a person’s presence in the UK is not conducive to the public good because of their character, conduct or associations.</p><p>Published guidance makes clear the behaviours which mean an application would be refused under rule 9.3.1. While innocent tax discrepancies would not normally warrant refusal on non-conducive grounds, an application can be refused on the grounds of corruption or involvement in the proceeds of crime.</p> answering member constituency Torbay answering member printed Kevin Foster question first answered 11/01/2021 16:29:47 answering member 4451 label Biography information for Kevin Foster
