HC Deb 29 July 1946 vol 426 c500
47. Mr. George Wallace

asked the Chancellor of the Duchy of Lancaster if he is now in a position to grant facilities, in extreme compassionate cases, for people in Great Britain to visit relatives in the British zone of Germany.

The Chancellor of the Duchy of Lancaster (Mr. John Hynd)

Yes, Sir. Short visits, justified on extreme compassionate grounds, can now be permitted although the number has to be severely restricted in view of present conditions in Germany.
