HC Deb 18 May 1939 vol 347 c1656W
Colonel Wedgwood

asked the Home Secretary whether he will authorise the issue of a visa to Mrs. Necha Schmerzier, of Chemnitz, guaranteed by her son-in-law who has a well-known factory at Leek, and applied for the visa as long ago as 10th January?

Mr. Peake

My right hon. Friend understands, after inquiring of the German Jewish Aid Committee to which the application was referred in accordance with the usual practice, that their recommendation in the case may be expected in the course of the next few days. As soon as it is received there will be no avoidable delay in reaching a decision.
