HC Deb 22 August 1940 vol 364 cc1519-20W
Dr. Little

asked the Home Secretary whether he will give instructions that members of the Civil Service from Northern Ireland under the age of 21 years should receive permits to enable them to spend their holidays at home with their friends?

Sir J. Anderson

I have already authorised certain relaxations of the restrictions on travel between this country and Northern Ireland with a view to preventing undue hardship; but the further relaxation proposed by my hon. Friend would result in a considerable increase in the traffic between the two countries and I should not at present feel justified in authorising this relaxation. I shall however, be prepared to review the position again in a few months' time.
