HC Deb 15 July 1926 vol 198 cc639-40W
Mr. AMMON

asked the Secretary for Scotland if he is now in a position to state why Dr. Stoecker and Mademoiselle Marcelle Lebel, two Communist delegates, who were refused admission to this country by the Home Office in May, 1925, were allowed to appear at the Communist Conference in Glasgow despite the ban?

Sir W. JOYNSON-HICKS

I have been asked to reply. These aliens were, no doubt, aware that they would be refused admission if identified, and, from inquiries made at the time, I satisfied myself that they managed to enter the United Kingdom for a brief period surreptitiously.
