Miss Suzanne Southey

Mr. Rost
asked the Secretary of State for the Home Department if he will inquire into and make a statement on the case of Suzanne Southey, an 11-year-old schoolgirl, living in Tring, who faces the threat of expulsion from Great Britain following a school visit to France.

Dr. Summerskill
Inquiries are being made, and as soon as they are complete I will write to the hon. Member. In the meantime we shall be writing to the child's parents asking them to send us her passport.
