HC Deb 06 April 1978 vol 947 c166W
Mr. Arthur Lewis

asked the Secretary of State for the Home Department whether he will make a statement on the visit to the United Kingdom of Mr. Joshua Nkomo, and the reasons why he was detained at Heathrow Airport by immigration officials for half an hour.

Dr. Summerskill

The purpose of Mr. Joshua Nkomo's visit was to hold discussions with my right hon. Friend the Secretary of State for Foreign and Commonwealth Affairs. Mr. Nkomo and his party were not detained; they passed through the immigration control within a few minutes of arrival.
