London - The ban on the black separatist Nation of Islam leader, Mr Louis Farrakhan, entering Britain is to continue indefinitely despite his signing a pledge three weeks ago to obey UK laws against inciting racial hatred.

Mr Farrakhan was told last night that in the light of the disruption of the Stephen Lawrence inquiry by Nation of Islam followers, the Home Secretary, Mr Jack Straw, had decided not to review the exclusion order first imposed 12 years ago. It is believed that Mr Straw had been considering lifting the ban.
