§ 14. Lieut.-Colonel HENEAGEasked the Secretary of State for Foreign Affairs what instructions have been issued to the British diplomatic representatives in the Soviet Republic as regards the granting of British visas to officials or agents of the Cheka: and whether any such visas have yet been granted to members of this organisation since June, 1929?
Mr. A. HENDERSONApplications for ordinary visas—as opposed to diplomatic and transit visas—are referred to His Majesty's Government for decision, and accordingly no instructions have been issued to the British officials in the Union of Soviet Socialist Republics. Having regard to the nature of the 898 organisation referred to, I am not in a position to reply to the second part of the question.
§ Lieut.-Colonel HENEAGECan the right hon. Gentleman say whether, in any forms that they have to fill up, it is stated whether or not they are police officers of a certain category or general category?
Mr. HENDERSONIf the hon. and gallant Gentleman will put a question on the Paper, I will get the information.
