HC Deb 12 October 1944 vol 403 c1923
59. Mr. Keeling

asked the Secretary of State for the Home Department whether he is aware that women and children who, in response to the Government invitation to relieve the pressure on the official evacuation scheme, went to Eire in August under their own arrangements without any condition as to the minimum period they would remain are now being told by the United Kingdom permit office in Dublin that they must remain in Eire for six months; and whether he will alter this rule forthwith.

Mr. H. Morrison

Instructions have already been issued to the United Kingdom permit office in Dublin to grant visas to persons who were granted exit permits to enable them to take refuge in Eire from flying bombs and who now desire to return to their homes in Great Britain.
