HC Deb 10 December 1945 vol 417 c19
61. Colonel J. R. H. Hutchison

asked the Under-Secretary of State for Dominion Affairs what progress is being made to wards emigration schemes from this country to each of the Dominions

Mr. Parker

I would refer the hon. and gallant Member to the reply which I gave to the hon. Member for Southend (Mr. Channon) on 19th November, to which I have nothing to add.

Colonel Hutchison

Will the Minister assure the House that, in these matters, it is not a question of a shortage of shipping which has precluded the immediate taking up of these schemes?

Mr. Parker

So far as migration is concerned, we are very anxious to have agreement with the Dominions, and it depends on when the Dominions can receive people as to what arrangements will be made.
