Aliens Branch, Home Office (Correspondence)

29.

Mr. Butcher
asked the Secretary of State for the Home Department when the hon. Member for Holland with Boston may expect a reply to his letter dated 16th August.

Mr. Ede
I regret that the reply, which I am sending to the hon. Member to-day,  has been delayed owing to the tremendous pressure of work falling on the Aliens Branch of my Department.
