HC Deb 11 July 1946 vol 425 c109W
78. Mr. Byers

asked the Secretary of State for the Home Department how many visas have been issued in Germany and Austria, respectively, for the admission of distressed relatives to Great Britain under the recent arrangements announced by him; and how many people have arrived in this country direct from Germany and Austria under this scheme.

Mr. Ede

Visas are not actually endorsed in Germany until military exit permits have been granted. Up to last Saturday 97 visas had been endorsed in Germany under this scheme, and 121 in Austria The statistics are not kept in a form which would enable me to answer the last part of the Question.
