§ Lieut.-Colonel HILDERasked the Parliamentary Secretary to the Minister of Shipping what action has been taken to assist the Agent-General of Western Australia, by the provision of the necessary shipping space to enable full advantage to be taken of the Western Australian Government's recent offer to take as immigrants, free of expense, 200 war orphans between nine and 14 years of age, 500 war orphans between 14 and 16 years of age, war widows with or without children, and assisted passages to an unlimited number of domestic servants and farm workers?
§ Lieut.-Colonel AMERYIf difficulties arise in connection with the provision of shipping for the settlement in Western Australia of children, whose best interests would, in the opinion of those in charge of them, be served by starting in life overseas, every effort will be made to ensure that these difficulties are surmounted. The same observation applies to persons in the other categories mentioned in my hon. Friend's question.
