HC Deb 27 February 1958 vol 583 cc68-9W
102. Mr. D. Jones

asked the Secretary of State for the Home Department why he has declined to permit an elderly Polish lady, Mrs. Katarzyna, to continue to reside with her son and daughter-in-law at West Hartlepool, having regard to the fact that there is sufficient accommodation in the son's home, and that the son, Stefan Poll, has given a written undertaking that he will continue to provide a home and keep for his mother for the rest of her days.

Mr. R. A. Butler

Mrs. Katarzyna Slacowska was admitted to this country for two months on 22nd September, 1957, to visit her son who had previously given an assurance that his mother would leave at the end of her permitted stay. An application made four days after her arrival for permission to stay here permanently was refused, in accordance with long-standing policy, because she has a husband and relatives in Poland. Her permitted stay was, however, extended to 31st January. I can find no ground for any further extension.
