§ 20. Colonel HOWARD-BURYasked the Minister of Labour whether, seeing that British dance bands are forbidden entry into the United States and France, she will take steps to enforce similar restrictions on the entry into this country of American and French dance bands?
§ Miss BONDFIELDThe admission into this country of foreign dance bands is closely restricted. Permits are granted only where I am satisfied that good cause exists, and that the grant would not be prejudicial to the general interests of British workers.
§ Colonel HOWARD-BURYSeeing that there are so many British musicians out of work, cannot the right hon. Lady prohibit the entry of dance bands from those countries that prohibit ours from going there.
§ Miss BONDFIELDThere have been very few visas issued since January.
