§ Mr. BUCHANAN(by Private Notice) asked the Secretary of State for Dominion Affairs if he is aware that Mr. James Smith, residing at Cathcart Road, Glasgow, about 18 months ago paid to Messrs. Moses Buchanan & Co., shipping agents, Glasgow, the full passage money for the return of his son John to this country from Australia; that despite this payment and the fact that his son had a first-class character he has refused to allow him to return, and if he has made inquiry as to the reason, seeing that this man went out under a Government scheme, and if he will take steps to see that he is allowed to return to Glasgow and his parents?
The SECRETARY of STATE for DOMINION AFFAIRS (Mr. J. H. Thomas)I only had notification of this question to-day, and I am making inquiries.
§ Mr. BUCHANANI am very sorry. I posted the question to the right hon. Gentleman at the same time that I posted the question to Mr. Speaker.
