Solutions of the Einstein--Maxwell equations are investigated for which the electromagnetic field is nonsingular and weakly parallelly propagated along its principal null congruences. It is shown that a subclass of these solutions admits an invertible two-dimensional Abelian group of motions. A weaker characterization of a recently found solution is thereby obtained. (AIP)
