HC Deb 11 February 1954 vol 523 c152W
78. Mr. J. Hynd

asked the Secretary of State for the Home Department why Dr. Oestreich, a German national, who was granted a visa to visit the United Kingdom was refused admission on arrival at London Airport.

Sir D. Maxwell Fyfe

Dr. Oestreich was refused leave to land when the immigration officer at London Airport ascertained that his intention was to attend the conference organised by Teachers for Peace. He obtained his visa in Berlin by representing that he was coming to this country on a private visit.
