§ Mr. CROOKSasked the Parliamentary Secretary to the Shipping Controller whether he is aware that about 2,000 Canadian mechanics brought to this country to work on munitions have now been out of work for about two months and are anxiously waiting for the opportunity to return home; and whether any steps can be taken to allocate these men berths?
Colonel WILSONAll possible steps are being taken to expedite the return to Canada of Canadian mechanics brought to this country, and I am glad to inform my hon. Friend that two ships with accommodation for about 1,900 passengers have been nominated for the conveyance of Canadian munition workers and their families to Canada during March.
