HC Deb 15 October 1952 vol 505 cc15-6W
47. Mr. Fenner Brockway

asked the Secretary of State for Foreign Affairs what action he proposes to take in the case of Mr. Earl Seaton, particulars of which have been sent to him, who was held up and interrogated for two and a half hours by United States immigration officials when he was the officially accredited representative of the Wameru in Tanganyika to present their case to the Trusteeship Council of the United Nations.

Mr. Eden

None. For their part Her Majesty's Government and the Government of Tanganyika accorded Mr. Seaton all the facilities normally accorded to petitioners seeking to travel to a meeting of the Trusteeship Council. The question of his entry to the United States is a matter for the Secretary-General of the United Nations to take up with the American immigration authorities.
