HC Deb 19 January 1988 vol 125 c637W
Mr. John Marshall

To ask the Secretary of State for Foreign and Commonwealth Affairs if he will make representations to the Russians about the plight of Mrs. Eugenia Lutskaya of Leningrad, who first applied in 1973 to go to Israel, where her daughter and grandchildren live, and of her husband Mikhail, who has been told he can leave Russia but without his wife.

Mr. Mellor

We regularly make representations to the Soviet authorities on behalf of divided Soviet families. My right hon. and learned Friend last raised these issues with the Soviet Foreign Minister at Brize Norton on 7 December, when he handed over lists of cases about which representations had been made to the Government, including that of Mrs. Eugenia Lutskaya Kalendarev.
