MR. LEON TROTSKY. (Hansard, 13 February 1929)

HC Deb 13 February 1929 vol 225 c381 381

§ 5. Mr. DAY
asked the Secretary of State, for Foreign Affairs whether any application has been made to the British Government by the Soviet Government of Russia to allow Mr. Leon Trotsky to visit Great Britain; and, if so, what reply has been given by the British Government?

§ Sir A. CHAMBERLAIN
His Majesty's Government has received no such application.

§ Mr. DAY
Can the right hon. Gentle man say whether application has been made by the man himself?

§ Sir A. CHAMBERLAIN
No, Sir.

§ Mr. MacLAREN
May I ask whether, if Mr. Leon Trotsky, would change his name to "Day" or to "Morrow," he would receive consideration?
