HC Deb 03 July 1930 vol 240 cc2131-2
34. Miss WILKINSON

asked the Home Secretary whether he is prepared to reconsider his refusal to grant a visa to visit this country for medical and personal reasons to Mr. Leon Trotsky?

Mr. CLYNES

I have already fully informed the House of the reasons why His Majesty's Government decided to re- fuse facilities for Mr. Trotsky's proposed visit, and I regret that I am not prepared to reconsider that decision.

Miss WILKINSON

Would it not be wise to reconsider the decision in view of the serious uneasiness that has been caused among liberal and enlightened movements in Eastern Europe by the Government's hospitality to Count Bethlen?

Mr. BUCHANAN

Will the right hon. Gentleman apply the same law to the King of Spain as he has done to this gentleman?
