HC Deb 12 July 1967 vol 750 c109W
113. Sir R. Russell

asked the Secretary of State for Foreign Affairs why he refused to issue a British passport to Mrs. Sarah Henderson, of 19, 49 Street, Rangoon, Burma, 81-year-old widow of a British subject, so that she will be able to leave Burma for Australia with her daughter, son-in-law and grandson; and if he will now do so.

Mr. William Rodgers

Mrs. Henderson ceased to be a British subject under the terms of Section 2 of the Burma Independence Act, 1947 and is therefore not eligible for a United Kingdom passport.
