asked the Secretary of State for Foreign Affairs why His Majesty's Consul-General at Milan has not yet issued a British passport to Mrs. Carla Freeman, whose present address is Famiglia Martini, via Corti 31, Sta Maria di Rovere, Treviso, who married a British Serviceman last autumn and whose application was sent to the Consulate-General last October; and whether, in view of the delay thus caused to this young lady's journey to London, he will instruct the Consulate-General to issue the passport forthwith.
Mr Ernest Bevin
, Wandsworth Central
I have no information concerning Mrs. Carla Freeman, but I have asked His Majesty's Consul-General at Milan for a report.
Mr Francis Noel-Baker
, Brentford and Chiswick
Is my right hon. Friend aware that since I put down this Question I have had further information, and could he, if I give him the name of the military unit of the husband, ask the Consul-General to act quickly, and get the necessary documents?
Mr Ernest Bevin
, Wandsworth Central
Certainly, Sir.
Captain Harry Crookshank
, Gainsborough
Is not the hon. Member the last person to be so interested in British passports?
Secretary of State was originally the title given to the two officials who conducted the Royal Correspondence under Elizabeth I. Now it is the title held by some of the more important Government Ministers, for example the Secretary of State for Foreign Affairs.
