§ 61. Sir K. WOODasked the Secretary of State for the Home Department what are the conditions made in relation to the permission afforded Mr. Terakopoff and Dr. Rabinovitch to reside in this country; and whether he has recently received any application far permission to reside in this country on behalf of any persons who have just been appointed directors of the Russian Oil Products, Limited?
§ The UNDER-SECRETARY of STATE for the HOME DEPARTMENT (Mr. Short)Dr. Rabinovitch has been resident in this country since August, 1914, and his stay is not subject to any special conditions. Mr. Terakopoff was given leave to land for three months in March, 1924, and the condition has been varied from time to time. He is at present subject to a condition requiring him to leave the United Kingdom not later than 20th June, 1931. Applications for visas for two persons coming to join the board of Russian Oil Products, Limited, have recently been received.
§ Sir K. WOODHas the Parliamentary Secretary received any application from either of the two gentlemen mentioned in the first part of this question to remain longer in this country, or to have the conditions varied, inasmuch as they were ordered to go back to Russia and did not want to return there?
§ Mr. SHORTI should require notice of that question. Perhaps the right hon. Gentleman will put it down on the Paper.
§ Sir W. DAVISONCan the hon. Gentleman assure the House that there will be no more new permits issued for people to take the places of these gentlemen?
