DIFFERENCE IN OPINION IN BRITISH GOVERNMENT OVER VISA BOND

British prominent British leaders have continued to speak out against the British government's plan to impose a refundable £3,000 visa bond on Nigerians. The new UK plan to make foreign visitors from Nigeria, Ghana, India, Pakistan, Bangladesh and Sri Lanka routinely pay a security deposit to come to the U.K., an idea that has spurred outraged in countries such as India and Nigeria. Officials and businesspeople in the affected countries have condemned the proposal, and the British government has not said how many visa applicants will have to pay the bond. The British deputy Prime Minister Nick Clegg said he will try to block any such move to pay the visa bond. Deputy Prime Minister said his liberal Democrat Party and its Conservative coalition partners had "differences of emphasis" on the plan, and details were still being discussed in government.
