59. Captain TUDOR-REESasked the Prime Minister whether he. is aware that a serious attempt to send representatives of Bolshevism to this country for the purpose of Bolshevist propaganda is under contemplation; and whether, if and when the attempt is made, such representatives will be prevented from landing in the United Kingdom?
§ The SECRETARY of STATE for the HOME DEPARTMENT (Mr. Shortt)My right hon. Friend has asked me to reply to this question. I have no specific information of any such attempt, but the desire of the Soviet Government to push propaganda in all countries is well known. If any representative is known or reasonably suspected to be coming for purposes of propaganda, permission to land will be refused.
