§ Mr. Parkerasked the Home Secretary whether he is aware that many residents in the Channel Islands who were anxious to be avacuated were unable to do so following the air raid on 28th June as there were no boats available; and whether he will approach the German authorities, through neutral channels, to arrange for the evacuation of such of the remaining inhabitants who now wish to leave?
§ Mr. PeakeAs regards the first part of the Question I would refer to the reply which my right hon. Friend gave to a Question by my hon. Friend the member for North Camberwell (Mr. Ammon) on the 18th instant. As regards the second part of the Question, I regret that it is not possible on present information to hold out hope of any such arrangement.
