§ Lieut.-Colonel Liptonasked the Chancellor of the Duchy of Lancaster why only a repatriation permit was issued to a person, details of whom have been furnished, whose application for priority British naturalisation is pending and who wishes for business reasons to visit the British zone in Austria; and whether a permit to travel to, and return from. Austria will be granted in this case.
§ Mr. J. HyndThis Gentleman's original application was in terms of repatriation to Austria for the purpose of administering his property and performing other useful services in the reconstruction of that country. There was no mention of British naturalisation or of a temporary business visit in his letter. A permit was issued on 18th July for him to enter Austria for the purposes stated in his letter. If it is now his desire merely to visit Austria for business reasons, his application must be judged by different criteria and he should apply to the Export Promotions Department of the Board of Trade.
