§ Mr. Crawshawasked the Secretary of State for Foreign and Commonwealth Affairs what recent conversations he has had with the Soviet Ambassador about the refusal of the Soviet Government in general to release Soviet Jews in accordance with that Government's undertaking under international law, and about the case of Mr. Leviev, who was arrested two years ago shortly after applying for a visa to go to Israel and was last week sentenced to death, in particular.
§ Mr. HattersleyMy right hon. Friend has raised matters of this kind when it has been appropriate to do so. I shall no doubt do so again if suitable opportunities occur. But these cases can sometimes be dealt with better in private discussion than in public declaration.
