HC Deb 14 August 1940 vol 364 c798W
Dr. Little

asked the Home Secretary whether he will grant permits to wives of members of His Majesty's Forces from Northern Ireland serving in Great Britain to enable them to visit their husbands, or, if living with them in Britain, to allow the wives to accompany their husbands to Ulster when on leave?

Sir J. Anderson

I regret that I should not feel justified in authorising the grant of exit permits in such cases. Members of His Majesty's Forces can visit their wives in Great Britain or Northern Ireland without the necessity of applying for exit permits provided they are travelling on authorised leave.
