§ Mr. Keelingasked the Secretary of State for the Home Department whether he will give the same priority to British subjects to return to pre-war employment and pre-war wives in France and Belgium that is enjoyed by Frenchmen and Belgians.
§ Mr. H. MorrisonNo facilities for private travel to France and Belgium are as yet 2145W available. When the time comes for the return of pre-war residents, I shall be prepared to grant exit permits to British subjects for this purpose, subject to security and man-power considerations. They will, however, require to obtain French or Belgian visas, in order to enter those countries; and the priority which the French and Belgian authorities are prepared to give is primarily for those authorities to determine.
