§ 40 and 41. Mr. Donnellyasked the Chancellor of the Exchequer (1) whether, in view of the issue of warrants for their arrest, Mr. Guy Burgess and Mr. Donald Maclean are still granted emigrant status for the purposes of the Exchange Control Act, 1947;
(2) when Mr. Guy Burgess and Mr. Donald Maclean were granted emigrant status; upon what grounds this was done; and, as a result, what funds have been made available to them by the Bank of England.
§ Mr. BarberI presume that "emigrant status" refers to becoming permanently non-resident for the purposes of Exchange Control. These people were designated as non-resident in November, 1957, and September, 1958, respectively, on the grounds that they were residing permanently abroad, and the issue of warrants does not affect the position. It would not be in accordance with practice to give details of funds held or transferred by individuals.
