Lieut.-Colonel Sir JOHN HOPEasked the Under-Secretary of State to the Air Ministry, whether he is aware that Peter Anderson, No. 41455 L.A.C., 32nd Squadron, Royal Air Force, was demobilised on 4th March, and has since been waiting for a repatriation passage for himself and his wife to America, where his work and tools are awaiting him; and whether, in order to reduce the number of unemployed in this country, he can arrange that ex-soldiers whose claim to repatriation is admitted, and who have work waiting them oversea, may have first claim on the accommodation available in ships?
§ Major-General SEELYAll airmen and ex-airmen whose claim to repatriation is approved, and who have work awaiting them oversea, are placed on the priority list for shipping accommodation, but unfortunately the accommodation available is limited. Passages for Anderson and his wife should, however, be available during this month.
