HC Deb 03 May 1934 vol 289 c459
12. Major-General Sir ALFRED KNOX

asked the Home Secretary whether an application has been received from or on behalf of M. Leon Trotsky, alias Bronstein, to reside in Great Britain in view of his recent expulsion from France?

Sir J. GILMOUR

An application has recently been made on behalf of Monsieur Leon Trotsky for permission to enter the United Kingdom, and it has been decided not to accede to his request.

Mr. McGOVERN

Can the right bon. Gentleman give any reason why so many Nazi revolutionaries are allowed to enter this country, and why Trotsky is excluded?

Mr. SPEAKER

This question deals only with one man.
