HC Deb 04 November 1919 vol 120 c1291
5. Commander Viscount CURZON

asked the Under-Secretary of State for Foreign Affairs if, before granting a passport to females proceeding to employment abroad, any guarantees as to salary and condition of employment are required of a similar nature to those required by the military passport office during the War?

Mr. HARMSWORTH

It is the practice in such cases to make inquiries as to the bonâ fides of the contract entered into by the applicant, and, as far as possible, every care is taken to see that the conditions of employment are satisfactory.
