– in the House of Commons at on 6 November 1930.
asked the Home Secretary how many Russian students have been granted visas for the purpose of studying production methods in British factories?
Since the resumption of diplomatic relations with the Union of Socialist Soviet Republics, 34 visas have been authorised for Soviet citizens desirous of proceeding to the United Kingdom in order to study methods of production in British factories.
Can the right hon. Gentleman say how long these students are allowed to stay in this country?
In all cases their stay is for a fixed period, but I could not state the duration without notice.
Can the right hon. Gentleman say whether the production on which these students are engaged is propaganda against this country?
