December 16, 1930.
Reginald Redvers Lock
Vera Lock, nee Shoukailova.
LOCK was born at Plympton, Devon, on the 10th December
1900, is 6 feet in height and has brown hair and eyes.
His
wife was born in Russia on the 27th September, 1900.
In 1926 they were repatriated at the public expense from
Marseilles on their journey to this country from Shanghai. The
cost of their repatriation has never been refunded.
On the 2nd July last passport No.212784, valid for one year and endorsed for Europe and the Union of Soviet Socialist Republics, was granted to Lock and his wife to enable them to
proceed to her home in Vladivostock. She was stated to be in
a bad state of health. Lock was warned that his wife would
not again be repatriated at the expense of public funds. His
father refuses to afford him any further assistance.
In July last they reported to the British Consul at Berlin
that they has lost a pocket wallet and all their money. On the
strength of Lock's statement, subsequently found to be untrue,
that he owned a business in Winnipeg known as the Russian Beauty
Products Company, assistance was given to them. A similar tale
was told to His Majesty's Consulate-General at Moscow, where
they also obtained assistance. They are now understood to be
in Vladivostock.
No financial assistance or passport facilities should
be granted to these people without reference to the Foreign
Office.
To His Majesty's Consular and
Passport Control Officers.
HUBERT MARTIN,
Chief Passport Officer.
