Following an amendment to the Immigration (European Economic Area) Regulations 2006, which is expected to come into effect on 1 June 2009, my right honourable friend the Home Secretary will consider whether to exclude certain European Economic Area nationals who are considered a threat to public policy or public security. However, it is our policy not to discuss individual cases before a decision has been made.
