Red Army Choir

HC Deb 29 January 1980 vol 977 c551W

Mr. Hawksley

asked the Secretary of State for the Home Department if he will refuse visas to members of the Red Army Choir who are due to visit the United Kingdom in May.

Mr. Raison

We have told the Russians that we expect them to cancel the tour and I do not, therefore, expect applications for visas to be made.
