MPs’ invitations to visit the USSR

Summary

Moore asked whether MPs should decline Soviet Government invitations as a protest against persecution; the Minister said the question did not arise, and the Chair treated it as a separate question.

Arising out of the Minister's very comprehensive reply, could I ask him if he would advise Members of this House who have been invited to the USSR by the Soviet Government not to accept that invitation as a protest against the persecution of the Jews and other minorities? At least that would be less hypocritical.

I do not think that arises.

That is a separate question.
