HC Deb 08 March 1915 vol 70 c1164W
Mr. JOYNSON-HICKS

asked the Under-Secretary for War why, if it was not considered right to expel Mrs. Savile and her daughter from the East Coast, was the order only withdrawn on condition that she undertook to leave the prohibited area and to report her movements?

Mr. TENNANT

It had been ascertained that Mrs. Savile and her daughter were proposing to leave Beverley of their own accord. The order of expulsion was accordingly withdrawn on that condition, so as to allay local fears, without exposing the ladies to undeserved obloquy.
