HC Deb 07 July 1939 vol 349 c1690W
Colonel Wedgwood

asked the Home Secretary whether he will now issue a visa to Frau Gisela Hoefler, applied for as a domestic servant by the wife of Rev. D. E. Auty, of Castle Douglas, in view of the letters submitted to him?

Mr. Peake

In the selection of cases for admission to this country experience has shown that it is undesirable to make arrangements which involve the separation of married couples. In this case there is no proposal that the husband should come here, and my right hon. Friend is informed that he does not wish to apply for permission. In these circumstances it has not been possible to select the wife as one of the applicants to be admitted for domestic service.
