HC Deb 12 July 1939 vol 349 c2262W
Mr. R. Gibson

asked the Home Secretary what steps the Government propose to take to safeguard the position of British-born women resident in the United Kingdom but married to non-Britishers, in case of a national emergency?

Mr. Peake

I assume that the hon. Member's suggestion is that if any special restrictions should be imposed on alien women, such restrictions ought not necessarily to be imposed on British-born women who are married to foreigners. This is a point which will not be overlooked if occasion for special restrictions arises.
