Mr. Mason

asked the Secretary of State for Foreign and Commonwealth Affairs what information he has as to the number of Jews who have been permitted to emigrate from the Union of Soviet Socialist Republics in each month of 1986.

Mr. Renton

The number of Jews who have left the Union of Soviet Socialist Republics in each month of 1986 are:

Numbers
January 79
February 51
March 47

We regard these figures as unacceptably low.
