HC Deb 16 February 1978 vol 944 cc291-2W
Mrs. Renée Short

asked the Secretary of State for the Home Department if he will take all possible steps to ensure that no members of the Ku-Klux Klan enter Great Britain.

Mr. Rose

asked the Secretary of State for the Home Department whether, in the light of recruitment of members to the Ku-Klux Klan in Southampton, Leamington, Bolton and elsewhere, he will take action to prevent Mr. Bill Wilkinson, the Imperial Wizard from Louisiana from entering the United Kingdom on a recruiting campaign, thereby exacerbating racial tensions.

Mr. Lee

asked the Secretary of State for the Home Department if he will undertake to exclude from the United Kingdom all members of the Ku-Klux Klan who may seek entry.

Mr. Merlyn Rees
