Mr. Petherick

The general policy in these matters was outlined in the replies given by my right hon. Friend to my hon. and gallant Friend the Member for Welling borough (Sir A. James) on 27th February and to my hon. and gallant Friend the Member for Middleton and Prestwich (Major Gates) on 10th May. Inquiries are being made into the particular case referred to in my hon.
