HC Deb 14 April 1976 vol 909 c528W
Miss Fookes

asked the Secretary of State for Defence if he will take steps to tighten up the security checks on Soviet trawlers in the light of the defection by a Soviet woman scientist from the "Argus" while in Millbay Docks, Plymouth.

Mr. Judd

Soviet commercial ships are free to enter United Kingdom ports in the same way as commercial ships of any other nationality. The incident to which the hon. Member refers has no bearing on this fact.
