HC Deb 08 February 1926 vol 191 cc671-2W
Mr. BECKETT

asked the Home Secretary why Rabbi Abraham Sacharov, who was selected as their rabbi by the Gateshead Hebrew congregation, has been refused admission to this country?

Sir W. JOYNSON-HICKS

The application for the admission of this Polish Rabbi has not been supported by any arguments beyond the fact that the Gateshead congregation have elected him, and though I have made inquiries I have been unable to ascertain any special grounds for acceding to the application.
