HC Deb 01 April 1980 vol 982 cc150-1W
Mr. Arthur Lewis

asked the Secretary of State for the Home Department when he expects to announce his decision regarding the ban on the entry of Scientologists.

Mr. Raison

We are not yet in a position to make an announcement.

Mr. Arthur Lewis

asked the Secretary of State for the Home Department to what extent the introduction and maintenance of the ban on the entry of foreign Scientologists is due to that organisation's continuing conflicts with the Central Intelligence Agency and other United States secret services and to what extent such official United States organisations asked for the ban or its continuance.

Mr. Raison

None.
