HC Deb 11 February 1963 vol 671 cc932-3
41. Mr. Stonehouse

asked the Lord Privy Seal if he will advise the political agent in Bahrain to allow the two children of Mrs. K. V. Abrahams, holding an unconditional residence permit in Bahrain, to visit their mother.

Mr. P. Thomas

I have asked the Political Agent for a full report on this matter.

Mr. Stonehouse

Will the hon. Gentleman bear in mind that there have been stupid mistakes in Bahrain before? Will he ensure that these children, aged 13 and 8, respectively, are allowed to go to Bahrain and that no bureaucracy will be allowed to interfere?

Mr. Thomas

Before commenting, I should await the report of the Political Agent.
