§ Sir E. Graham-Littleasked the Secretary of State for the Home Department if he will reconsider the case, details of which have been submitted, of a Polish lady whose brother, established in England, wishes her to enter the school of Slavonic and East European studies of London University for which she has obtained permission from the authorities of the school; and whether, in view of the assurance published by the British Embassy in Warsaw that Poles, who wished to come to England to study at a university would be given visas, she will be allowed to start her studies from the beginning of the next session.
§ Mr. EdeThis lady applied for, and was granted, a transit visa to enable her to travel with her uncle and aunt from Poland to Eire, and she was given leave38W to land in this country on the normal condition of direct transit to Eire. It is important that the grant of a transit visa should not be used as a means of evading the present immigration restrictions and it is accordingly necessary to require foreigners who come here on transit visas to proceed on their journey to their final destination with the minimum of delay. In this case there are some exceptional features and in the special circumstaces I have decided to allow this lady to remain in England to pursue her studies at Lori-don University.
