§ Mr. John MarshallTo ask the Secretary of State for Foreign and Commonwealth Affairs what representations have been made to the Russian authorities about their continued failure to grant an exit visa to George Belitsky of Moscow.
§ Mr. WaldegraveWe have underlined our concern about George Belitsky to the Soviet authorities on numerous occasions over the past year—most recently during the Paris human rights conference in June. The Russians continue to refuse to grant a visa on security grounds which we find wholly unconvincing. We shall continue to press the case.
