HC Deb 29 May 1919 vol 116 cc1466-7W
Major WARING

asked the Under-Secretary of State for Foreign Affairs whether passports have been refused by the United States Government at the instigation of the Foreign Office to certain American subjects who desired to come to this country to explain the working of prohibition in America; and, if so, will he state the reason for such action?

Mr. HARMSWORTH

I am not aware-of any foundation for the suggestion con- tained in this question, but if the hon. and gallant Member will furnish me with details I will cause inquiries to be made.
