HC Deb 28 March 1923 vol 162 cc534-5W
Lieut.-Colonel ARCHER-SHEE

asked the Under-Secretary of State for India whether, in the case of the little girl, Doris Hawker, who was emigrated to Madras for adoption, he will ask the Madras Government to arrange for her immediate return to England, in view of the fact that her passage money is guaranteed and that several offers of adoption in this country have already been received?

Earl WINTERTON

Subject to satisfactory arrangements being made for the provision of passage money, the Government of Madras will be requested to make arrangements for Doris Hawker to be sent home without further delay. I shall be grateful if the hon. and gallant Member can supply me with any definite information as to the guarantee which is said to have been given for the passage money.
