Immigration
There is no right as such of entry to the UK for someone fleeing persecution in their own country. The certificate of the Foreign Secretary given on behalf of the Crown as to the existence of a state of war involving HMG is conclusive and binding on the court: "If the King says by an Act of State that the Commonwealth of countries over which he reigns is at war with a particular state, it is at war with that state, and the certificate of the Secretary of State is conclusive."
