HC Deb 27 March 1952 vol 498 c61W
28. Brigadier Clarke

asked the Secretary of State for the Home Department how many aliens he has permitted to enter this country to attend the British Youth Festival.

Sir D. Maxwell Fyfe

I assume that my hon. and gallant Friend is referring to the British Youth Peace Festival which is to be held near Sheffield at Whitsun. As I informed my hon. Friend the Member for Wembley, South (Mr. Russell) on 13th March last, I am not prepared to grant facilities to foreigners to attend this Festival, and I have so far received no applications from foreigners to be allowed to come here for this purpose.
