HC Deb 30 April 1986 vol 96 cc422-3W
Mr. Dicks

asked the Secretary of State for the Home Department if, in view of the recent admission of links between Pan-Africanist Congress terrorists and Libya, he will deport Mr. Gora Ebrahim, the London representative of the Pan-Africanist Congress, and close down the Congress office in London; and if he will make a statement.
