§ Mr. McAdamasked the Secretary of State for the Home Department if he will grant permits to enter this country to Austrian women who wish to marry British soldiers who have been demobilised, provided that those soldiers had submitted an application for permission to marry while serving in Austria and such permission had been refused.
§ Mr. EdeI would refer my hon. Friend to the reply which I have given today to my hon. Friend the Member for Bilston (Mr. Nally).
§ Mr. McAdamasked the Secretary of State for the Home Department why he granted permission for an Austrian woman to come to this country for the purpose of marrying a British subject while, at the same time, he is withholding permission for another Austrian subject to join his wife and family in Glasgow.
§ Mr. EdeIf the implication is that the decision on the one case should be applicable to the other, I am unable to accept it. The considerations involved in cases of the two types to which my hon. Friend refers are in fact wholly different, and no useful inferences can be drawn from an attempt to compare them.
