HC Deb 07 August 1947 vol 441 c190W
82. Mr. Driberg

asked the Secretary of State for Foreign Affairs if he will investigate the responsibility of the Passport Control Officer, Berlin, or other officials in Germany, for the long delay in enabling Fraulein Liselotte Heuer, the fiancee of a British ex-Service man, to come to Britain; and if he will now expedite her journey.

Mr. Mayhew

Action in this case has been delayed by Miss Heuer not complying with the relevant instructions. My right hon. Friend the Minister of State wrote to my hon. Friend on 11thJuly saying that when the authorities in Germany received the necessary papers the issue of travel documents would be expedited. Inquiries are being made, and I will communicate with my hon. Friend as soon as possible.
