HC Deb 12 June 1972 vol 838 cc185-6W
26 and 52. Mr. Parry

asked the Secretary of State for Foreign and Commonwealth Affairs (1) what representations he has received from the Liverpool Jewish community following the Russian Gov- ernment's refusal to allow Hester Conid Slepak to receive a Prayer Book; and what action he has taken in regard to making representations to the Russian Government;

(2) what representations he has received from Liverpool Jewish organisations concerning the latest restrictions placed by the Russian Government on Jewish citizens; who apply for visas to the State of Israel; and what action he has taken with regard to making representations to the Russian Government.

Mr. Godber

We have received no representations from Liverpool Jewish organisations since December of last year either about Soviet Jews in general or about individuals.

44. Mr. Peter Archer

asked the Secretary of State for Foreign and Commonwealth Affairs whether he will make further representations to the Russian Government about the refusal to admit the prayer book addressed to Master Leonid Slepak; and if he will make a statement.

Mr. Godber

I regret the non-delivery of this prayer book, but I do not consider it an appropriate subject for representations to the Soviet Government.
