HC Deb 15 February 1926 vol 191 c1542
78. Commander LOCKER-LAMPSON

asked the Home Secretary whether his attention has been drawn to the application of Madame Lenin to enter and reside in this country; and what steps he intends to take in this event?

Sir W. JOYNSON-HICKS

I have no knowledge of any such application, and I cannot undertake to forecast the decision if and when the application be made.

Commander LOCKER - LAMPSON

Does my right hon. Friend not think that there are enough unemployed in this country without the presence of this lady?

Sir W. JOYNSON-HICKS

I have no idea that she has applied.

Mr. MAXTON

Should this application reach the right hon. Gentleman, will he treat it as he would treat any similar application from any person of the same standing in any other country?

Sir W. JOYNSON-HICKS

The application, if it come, will be treated on its merits.
