§ 75. Sir J. Vaughan-Morganasked the Minister of State for Commonwealth Relations what further representations he proposes to make to the Indian Government concerning the employees of the British Overseas Airways Corporation who have been declared persona non grata in India and who as a result have been dismissed by the Corporation with a month's notice, without any evidence having been produced of any criminal offences having been committed.
§ Mr. AlportFollowing discussions in which a member of the United Kingdom High Commission participated, the Indian authorities reconsidered those cases in which the employees affected had appealed through the British Overseas Airways Corporation and, in consequence, withdrew their objections in five cases. They have indicated that they are prepared to consider any fresh information in individual cases if submitted through the Corporation. I have no doubt that the British Overseas Airways Corporation will immediately forward to the Government of India any such information which may be submitted. The advice and assistance of the United 129W Kingdom High Commissioner would of course continue to be available to the Corporation in this matter.
