HC Deb 14 August 1940 vol 364 c799W
Mr. Silverman

asked the Home Secretary whether he can say how many persons, refugees from Nazi oppression and under the age of 21 years, have been deported from this country since 1st June, 1940, without the knowledge and consent of their parents or other nearest relatives?

Mr. Peake

It has only recently become possible to obtain an accurate list of the names of those transferred overseas, and it would require a detailed examination of every file to obtain the information asked for by the hon. Member. My right hon. Friend doubts whether such information, when compiled, would serve any useful purpose.
