HC Deb 02 March 1939 vol 344 c1473W
Mr. Grant-Ferris

asked the Home Secretary whether he is satisfied that refugee children accepted by this country are so accepted on the express understanding with their parents that they are to be emigrated as soon as practicable, or on the inauguration of any Government scheme?

Sir S. Hoare

The organisation known as the Movement for the Care of Children from Germany holds a signed statement from the parent of every refugee child brought to the United Kingdom on their responsibility agreeing to entrust the child to the care of the committee and to any step which the committee may take in the interest of the child. It is the intention of the committee to emigrate the children after suitable training but no definite plans have yet been formulated.
