S. Hudson. He said the Labour Minister thought it necessary to scrutinize more closely applications in respect to concert artists, but otherwise no change of policy had been made, or was contemplated.

As regards the United States there bad been 135 applications and seven refusals, none of which affected actors or concert artists.
