HC Deb 01 July 1977 vol 934 c374W
Mr. Wall

asked the Secretary of State for the Home Department why leaders of the ZUPO delegation were allowed only 72 hours in the United Kingdom and why the Patriotic Front leaders have had no restrictions placed on the length of their stay.

Dr. Summerskill

The Leaders of the Zimbabwe United Peoples Organisation arrived holding documents, purporting to be passports, issued by the illegal regime in Rhodesia. Although they were not in possession of valid travel documents it was decided to admit them for three days. The Patriotic Front leaders held valid United Kingdom concessionary pass-ports and were admitted as visitors according to normal practice.
