HC Deb 14 July 1943 vol 391 cc166-7
3. Captain Cunningham-Reid

asked the Secretary of State for Foreign Affairs why the political prisoner Prince Paul of Yugoslavia has been allowed to leave Kenya and live in South Africa?

Mr. Eden

Prince Paul was, with the agreement of the Union Government, removed to South Africa on medical grounds. His Majesty's Government in the United Kingdom and the Union Government were advised by the doctors attending him that his health would suffer serious and permanent injury if he remained in Kenya.

Captain Cunningham-Reid

At whose original request did this man go from Kenya to South Africa, and if it was at the request of this man himself, since when have political prisoners, especially such traitorous ones as this, been allowed at their own request to go to another country?

Commander Locker-Lampson

I wish to protest against this abuse of Parliamentary time.
