TRAVEL PERMITS
INCOMPLETE APPLICATIONS GOVERNMENT POLICY (By Telegraph.—Press Association) WELLINGTON, Tuesday Reference to the large number of applications received for permits to enable persons to travel to England was made by the Minister of Internal Affairs, the Hon. W. E. Parry, in an interview today. No case was lightly considered, he said, but the difficulty was that applicants did not submit evidence from England that would substantiate the reasons governing their wish to go abroad. Consequently, applications for permits could only be declined. Mr Parry added that the New Zealand Government was not placing obstacles in the way to prevent people temporarily residing in the Dominion from returning to England.
