HC Deb 25 July 1957 vol 574 c81W
89. Mr. Teeling

asked the Secretary of State for the Home Department what are considered the Iron Curtain countries from the point of view of his regulations with regard to visits to this country of their subjects; and whether Formosa is included as Communist China, or as a non-Iron Curtain country.

Mr. R. A. Butler

The rule of practice to which my hon. Friend is referring is applied to person travelling on non-national travel documents (including a certificate of identity which would be needed by a person travelling to the United Kingdom from Formosa and not in possession of a passport recognised as valid by Her Majesty's Government)and to holders of passports issued by the Governments of Albania, Bulgaria, Czechoslovakia, Hungary, Jugoslavia, Poland, Roumania, the Chinese People's Republic, and the U.S.S.R.
