HC Deb 12 February 1948 vol 447 c95W
49. Dr. Segal

asked the Minister of Labour whether his attention has been drawn to the circulars, a copy of which has been sent him, issued by the International Information Service of 23, Postley Road, Maidstone, Kent, in an endeavour to secure Austrian girls for domestic service in England; and in view of the misrepresentations in these circulars and the excessive fees charged by this agency, when he proposes to curtail its activities.

Mr. Isaacs

Permits for the employment of foreigners from abroad are issued by my Department only on application made by the prospective employer, and I have no authority to curtail the activities of any agency through whom the employer may have established contact with a foreigner.
