"This research note provides an explanation of immigration law in respect of the immigration rules which provide for the refusal of entry to the United Kingdom on the grounds of criminal convictions. It sets out the background to the decision by the Home Secretary, Jack Straw, to allow the professional boxer, Mike Tyson, to enter the UK to take part in a boxing match at Hampden Stadium on 24 June 2000. It also examines an earlier decision by the Home Secretary, taken in January of this year, to allow Mike Tysonto enter the UK to take part in a boxing match in Manchester. The Scottish National Party has tabled a motion for debate on 24 May 2000, relating to the level of consultation in Scotland prior to the Home Secretary's decision and calling on the Scottish Executive to take steps to prevent the match from proceeding. Finally, this note summarises the contents of a consultation paper published by the Home Office on 18 May 2000 on the operation of the immigration rules in relation to refusal of entry for those with criminal convictions."
