HC Deb 08 July 1924 vol 175 c1997W
Mr. LANSBURY

asked the Secretary of State for the Colonies whether he is aware that there are a considerable number of Colonials, citizens of the various British Dominions, at present stranded in this country, some of whom are very desirous of returning home; and whether it is possible for him to call a conference of High Commissioners and other representatives of the Dominions in order to devise measures for the repatriation of these men, many of whom served in the great War and returned to this country under the mistaken impression that there would be employment for them?

Mr. THOMAS

I have no information on the lines indicated in the question, and I understand that the High Commissioners for the different Dominions are always ready to help inbona fide cases.
