HC Deb 22 September 1948 vol 456 c870
31. Mr. Awbery

asked the Secretary of State for the Colonies if he is aware that air passages for Indians and Arabs coming to this country to join British ships are being provided at Aden at a charge of £150; and that an extra charge is made to them for the services of boarding house keepers who find the ships; and what steps he is taking to prevent this.
