§ 3. Mr. Hannahasked the Secretary of State for Foreign Affairs whether he can give the House any information as to what New World countries have expressed their willingness to receive immigrants in the event of large numbers desiring to leave Europe after the war.
§ Mr. EdenI am not aware that any of the New World States have expressed their willingness to receive immigrants in the hypothetical circumstances specified by my hon. Friend.
§ Mr. HannahIs it not absolutely certain that a very large number of people will want to leave Europe after the war?
§ Mr. EdenIt is extremely difficult clearly to estimate what that number would be. I would rather hope that we might have a better Europe after this war and that people would not be quite so ready to leave it.
