Controversial British historian, author and Holocaust denier David Irving will not be permitted to enter New Zealand.
Immigration Service spokesman Kathryn O'Sullivan said yesterday that as a person deported from another country, Mr Irving was prohibited from entering New Zealand.
Mr Irving, who was ejected from Canada in 1992, said on his website that he planned to visit New Zealand in September to make a speech to the National Press Club in Wellington.
New Zealand's Jewish community had asked the Government to keep Mr Irving out of the country.
