§ 19. Dr. Littleasked the Home Secretary whether he will issue instructions to passport officials to grant travel permits to teachers in Northern Ireland who desire to take refresher courses in Britain during the holidays?
§ Mr. H. MorrisonExit permits are granted to teachers in Northern Ireland to enable them to come to this country to take refresher courses if their applications are supported by the Ministry of Education, Northern Ireland.
§ Dr. LittleI have had many hard cases of that description brought to my notice during the week-end, including that of a young lady who had made application, and I would ask my right hon. Friend whether he will see that there is no holdup in the case of teachers who wish to equip themselves better for their work?
§ Mr. MorrisonI should think the young lady had better take the matter up in the first instance with the Ministry of Education in Northern Ireland.
