asked the Secretary of State for the Home Department on what grounds passports were refused certain Russian and Dutch citizens who desired to attend the War Resisters' International Conference, held in London from 3rd July to 6th July?

Mr. LOCKER-LAMPSON:

The fact that an alien was coming to the conference in question would certainly not be a reason for refusing him admission to this country. If the hon. Member will supply me with particulars of any cases he has in mind I will look into them and communicate with him.
