London, May 13, The position of distressed Britons in countries such as China and Austria, where political upheavals were taking place at the present time, wels the subject of a question in the House of Commons today.
The Government was asked whether it would consider making arrangements with the local authorities for financially assisting necessitous Britons who wished to be repatriated.
It was suggested that the assistance given should be on similar lines to that accorded to Britons repatriated from Spain, Replying in the negative, Sir Kingsley Wood, Minister of Health, stated that there was no need to consider making any special arrangements {or repatriating distressed Britons in respect of countries other than Spain.
