§ 118. Mr. Pickthornasked the Secretary of State for Foreign Affairs how many British correspondents were refused admission into Yugoslavia to report the Mihailovitch trial; and how many correspondents wishing to report on U.N.R.R.A. activities in Yugoslavia have also been refused admission.
§ Mr. BevinI am aware of one case in which a representative of the Press who wished to investigate the distribution of U.N.R.R.A. goods and also to report on the Mihalovitch trial was refused admission to Yugoslavia. I understand, however, that she had in the first instance attempted to enter the country without the necessary authority, and the Yugoslav Government did not feel able to accede to a request by His. Majesty's representative that, in spite of this, she should be granted a visa. No other cases in which correspondents have been refused permission to enter Yugoslavia have been brought to my notice.
