High Commission's Statement on HSMP



"As has been recorded in Hansard of February 19, 2007, during the recent trip of Chancellor of Exchequer to India the issue was raised in discussions between the UK Chancellor of Exchequer and the President of the Indian National Congress, the Indian Prime Minister and business representatives at a financial service seminar. The issue has been raised with FCO by the High Commission since 10 January 2007. High Commissioner of India to the UK, H.E. Kamalesh Sharma has also written to Lord Triesman, Parliamentary Under-Secretary of State, FCO in February 2007. Given the genuine human dimension of HSMP status- Indian nationals, who have already entered the UK since 2002, we would urge the British Government not to implement the new points based system retrospectively."
