HC Deb 17 May 1965 vol 712 c165W
62. Commander Courtney

asked the Secretary of State for Foreign Affairs if he will draw the attention of intending British visitors to the Soviet Union, and in particular the heads of organised parties, to the danger of taking into the Union of Soviet Socialist Republics apparently innocuous correspondence and literature from former Soviet and other foreign nationals now resident in the United Kingdom.

Mr. Padley

When intending visitors to the Soviet Union consult the Foreign Office, it is already the practice to advise them against taking literature, correspondence and parcels on behalf of third parties. But I am grateful to the hon. and gallant Member for giving me an opportunity to make this advice more widely known.
