HC Deb 01 February 1965 vol 705 c214W
Mr. Rose

asked the Secretary of State for the Home Department what is the policy of Her Majesty's Government concerning the entry to Great Britain of nationals of the German Democratic Republic; and whether visas have been refused to such nationals wishing to visit relatives resident in Great Britain.

Mr. George Thomas

There is no special restriction on the entry into this country of East Germans in possession of an acceptable travel document. There is no record of a United Kingdom visa having been refused during the last 12 months to any East German seeking to come here for the purpose of paying a bona fide private visit to relatives in this country.
