§ 64. Mrs. Renée Shortasked the Secretary of State for the Home Department why he refused to grant permits to Madame Bui Thi Cam, M.P., Madame Ha Giang, M.P., Madame Phan Tsi An and Madame Boi Anh, who were in Paris at the time of application, to enter this country for a short visit at the invitation of a group of British women, including women Members of Parliament; and why he decided that the visit of these North Vietnamese women, who have many friends among British Members of Parliament, would be used for war propaganda purposes.
§ Sir K. SoskiceIn view of the known activities and associations of this delegation it was reasonable to suppose that the visit would be used for North Vietnamese war propaganda purposes and would not help us towards our objective of promoting negotiations to end the conflict in Vietnam.
