HC Deb 28 January 1960 vol 616 c53W
Mr. de Freitas

asked the Secretary of State for the Home Department why Flying Officer Anthony Maynard Wraight of the Royal Air Force was allowed to leave the United Kingdom on 3rd December, 1956.

Mr. R. A. Butler

There is in general no power to prevent a British subject against whom no criminal charge can be brought from leaving the country: and there was no evidence to support such a charge in the case in question.
