HC Deb 20 July 1944 vol 402 c364W
Mr. Ellis Smith

asked the Secretary of State for the Home Department if the announcement that he made with reference to the travel ban to Ireland will be applied to trade unions and representative people of other organisations.

Mr. H. Morrison

Yes, Sir. Applications for exit permits for journeys on business of national importance can now again be considered if recommended by an appropriate organisation, and the former practice, under which recommendations in respect of representatives of trades unions are made by the Trades Union Congress, will be resumed.
