HC Deb 03 December 1969 vol 792 cc312-3W
Mr. Wyatt

asked the Secretary of State for the Home Department whether, in view of the official Soviet Writers Union's decision that Mr. Alexander Solzhenitgyn may leave Russia, he will give an assurance that he will provide immigration facilities for this writer.

Mr. Merlyn Rees

Mr. Solzhenitgyn has not applied for a visa to come to the United Kingdom. If he were to do so, the application would be fully considered in the light of all the relevant circumstances.
