§ 34. Mr. Peter Freemanasked the Minister of Labour whether he is now in a position to announce permission for a limited number of suitable applicants from Austria to be allowed to come into this country for domestic service, especially as cooks and nurses, in view of the grave shortage of these workers at the present time.
§ Mr. IsaacsYes, Sir. I would refer my hon. Friend to the statement I made in the House on Thursday, 11th April, a copy of which I am sending him.
§ Mr. FreemanWill permission have to be obtained from the Home Secretary as well as from my right hon. Friend's Department, or either, and also will he say what travel facilities will be available for those concerned?
§ Mr. IsaacsI shall be grateful if my hon. Friend will read the statement, and if there is any point on which he has doubt, and he will see me, I will try to clear it up.
