§ Mr. Warbeyasked the Prime Minister what steps he proposes to take to assist the repatriation of those British women whose marriages to men in the Dominions and Allied Services have not proved successful and who desire to return to this country.
§ The Prime MinisterThe general position is that no difficulty is placed by His Majesty's Government in the United Kingdom in the way of the return to this country of women of British birth and parentage belonging to the United Kingdom who have married men in the Dominions and Allied Services. In foreign countries His Majesty's consular officers afford such women every assistance for this purpose, short of the provision of travelling expenses, but including help in arranging journeys, so far as existing transport opportunities permit.
