clarification about refuse details

[psbiotech]

Hi all,
i would like to know how many years of refusal data UKBA will hold.
I got refused my student visa in 2006 ( funds maintainace and applying for the same course that i did in india). Now i am on tier1.
Every time am entering into the UK they are asking why your student visa got refused.
I would like to know how many years they will have that refusal information.

thanks
ps

My initial student visa was refused three times before I finally got the visa on a 4th attempt. And the only time I was asked about it was at my initial entry.
I have travelled several times since and it has never been an issue(and it shouldn't)
Just keep giving the same answers mate.

I had similar experience. My tier 1 was rejected 1st time because of "not enough information in the letter from tax office". I sorted it out with detail letter from tax office and got it second time. I was asked about the visa refusal 1st time and also second time when I was back from France holiday. Third time they didn't ask me (not sure if that was because I was travelling in business class that time).
