HC Deb 29 July 1983 vol 46 c688W
Mr. Parry

asked the Secretary of State for the Home Department (1) if he will consider granting entry visas to nationals of North Korea to attend party conferences as observers; and if he will make a statement;

(2) if he will consider granting entry visas to juveniles from North Korea to take part in a cultural visit.

Mr. Waddington

Any such applications would be considered in accordance with the immigration rules. Her Majesty's Government do not recognise North Korea as a state and the immigration rules provide that a person who produces a passport or travel document issued by a Government who are not recognised by Her Majesty's Government may be refused entry on that ground alone.
