HC Deb 27 January 1955 vol 536 cc47-8W
76. Mr. Elwyn Jones

asked the Secre tary of State for the Home Department why visas were refused to writers invited by the Authors' World Peace Appeal to attend an international conference of writers to discuss the part which might be played by literature in the creation of a peaceful world.

Major Lloyd-George

It has been made clear to the House on several occasions that foreigners cannot be admitted to this country to attend meetings organised by bodies which are, consciously or unconsciously, serving the purposes of the Communist-dominated World Peace Movement. I am satisfied that the Authors' World Peace Appeal is in this category.
