§ Mr. McAdamasked the Secretary of State for the Home Department if he will now extend the regulations for bringing displaced persons into this country so as to include widows aged 55 and over, who have lost their homes, families and friends as a result of German military action, and who have relatives in this country who are prepared to give them a home without the State being called upon to meet any expense, and give special priority to those widows who were found in German or Austrian concentration camps and who are at the present time being cared for by U.N.R.R.A.
§ Mr. EdeUnder the Distressed Relatives Scheme which I announced on the 13th November, a widow is already eligible, irrespective of age, if she has a child or grandchild here who is willing and able to provide for her accommodation and support. Until I have better information of the number of potential applicants under the present categories, I regret that it is not possible to consider extending them.
