§ Mr. KINGasked the Secretary of State for Foreign Affairs whether he is aware that women going to the permit office to get passports and stating that they wish to leave the country to be married have, in some cases, been asked by the officials whether there is any special hurry or was a baby expected; and will he give instructions that no insulting questions of this nature are to be asked in future?
§ Lord R. CECILThe answer to the first part of the question is in the negative; the second part, therefore, does not arise.
