HC Deb 28 July 1955 vol 544 c205W
81. Mr. Fenner Brockway

asked the Secretary of State for Foreign Affairs on what grounds Mr. Ian Hector Joseph Sykes Maclean has been expelled from Tangier by the orders of the British Consul-General and his passport cancelled in respect of Algeria, the French and Spanish zones of Morocco, Tangier and Tunisia.

Mr. Turton

In 1954 Mr. Maclean applied for his passport to be endorsed for travel to Morocco and Tunisia, and he was informed that such an endorsement would be made provided that he gave a written undertaking not to engage in any political activity when passing through Morocco and Tunisia. This written undertaking was given by him on 3rd September, 1954. Recent reports made by Her Majesty's Consuls-General in Tetuan and Tangier have shown that Mr. Maclean has broken this undertaking. Her Majesty's Consul-General in Tangier was therefore instructed to delete the endorsement for Algeria, the French and Spanish zones of Morocco, Tunisia and Tangier.
