asked the Secretary of State for Foreign Affairs what further representations have been made concerning the Soviet wives of British subjects so that they may be able to come to Great Britain; and whether these reprsentations have met with success, or what further steps he proposes to take.

There have been no further developments. His Majesty's Government expect to hear in due course the result of the approach which was made by my right hon. Friend the Minister of State to Monsieur Kuznetsov earlier this month.
