HC Deb 06 August 1940 vol 364 cc57-8W
Sir P. Hurd

asked the Under-Secretary of State for Dominion Affairs what has resulted from the Secretary of State's communications with the United Kingdom High Commissioner at Ottawa regarding the British women and children who are now in Canada without financial resources to support themselves; and what steps are being taken to avoid a repetition of the difficulty?

Mr. Shakespeare

My Noble Friend is still in communication with the United Kingdom High Commissioner at Ottawa and I am not yet in a position to make a statement on the matter.
