HC Deb 21 June 1920 vol 130 c1741
51. Sir H. BRITTAIN

asked the Prime Minister whether he is aware that in connection with the reception of children from Vienna in this country the children of Czech parents are being purposely passed over; and whether, in view of the fact that there are over 200,000 citizens of Czech nationality in Vienna, he will endeavour to see that the children coming to this country are chosen not merely by their nationality but by their needs?

Mr. BONAR LAW

No, Sir, I am not aware of the allegations contained in the first part of the question. Thirty children of Czech parentage were received in this country in the first party, and the suggestion contained in the last part of the question is the normal practice.
