HC Deb 29 January 1942 vol 377 c951W
Sir P. Hurd

asked the Secretary of State for War whether he is aware of the hardship caused by the delay in carrying out the Government's decision to permit remittances to evacuated children and their mothers in the United States of America and Canada; and whether he will take steps to ensure the release of those moneys?

Mr. Sandys

The preparation of the necessary administrative machinery is a somewhat complicated process and is being effected as rapidly as possible. It is hoped to issue an Army Council instruction putting the scheme into operation in the very near future.
