§ Mr. Butcherasked the Home Secretary whether he is making plans for refugees from Nazi oppression to return to their countries of origin as soon as their native lands are free from Nazi terrorism?
§ Mr. H. MorrisonIt is impossible at this stage to formulate precise plans for the disposal after the war of refugees who have been admitted to this country on a temporary basis. One of the objects for which the United Nations are fighting is the overthrow of Nazi and Fascist tyranny and oppression and the establishment of conditions in Europe which will allow the re-settlement in their own countries of the victims of racial and political hatred who have had to flee from their persecutors. Indeed it may well be the case that a considerable number of the refugees will wish to return to their own countries as soon as conditions have been stabilised. Others may wish to emigrate to other countries which may be prepared to receive them.
