It was chaired by Courtenay Denis Carew Robinson, a senior Home Office official, and he was joined by representatives of the Foreign Office, the Ministry of War Transport, and the Liverpool police and immigration inspectorate.

FEMAIL recalls the life of the Queen's aunt Princess Mary as she's finally given her own biography


Although she was the daughter, sister and aunt of monarchs, Princess Mary has largely been neglected in the national memory.
But a new biography, the first one to be dedicated solely to the Princess Royal, hopes to change that by finally offering a detailed look at her life as well as never previously known information.
The Princess Mary: The First Modern Princess, set to be released on February 5, presents the British royal as the princess who redefined the role for the modern age , laying the foundations for the likes of Diana, Princess of Wales, and the Duchess of Cambridge.
Princess Mary, the only daughter of King George V and Queen Mary, was the first child of a British monarch to train and work as a nurse, the first female chancellor of a university and the first female honorary General of the British Army, according to Tatler. ....
