Preventing a person held at UK immigration from using a telephone

The request was refused by Home Office.

Dear Home Office,

According to a youtube video:
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=4glysfmg...

Mr Martin Sellner and his partner claim that they were both ordered by Home Office staff not to use their telephones.

1.Please provide all regulations, circulars, guidance, training manuals etc. which stipulate that those held at UK ports who are NOT under arrest cannot use their telephones.

2. Provide all records showing why Mr Sellner and his partner Ms. Brittany Pettibone were denied access to the UK, including records which were in existence before their arrival in the UK.

Please reply within 20 working days.

Yours faithfully,

Edward Williams
