HC Deb 19 January 1943 vol 386 c76W
Mr. Sorensen

asked the Secretary of State for Foreign Affairs whether any further action has been taken to give immediate assistance to Jewish, Polish and other victims of Nazi oppression; whether he has been in communication with neutral and allied governments on the matter; and what representations he has received from representative organisations respecting aid to be given immediately including the possibility of migration under guarantees to neutral countries?

Mr. Law

I would refer my hon. Friend to the reply given by the Deputy Prime Minister earlier to-day to Questions on this subject.

Mr. David Adams

asked the Secretary of State for Foreign Affairs whether he is making further urgent appeals to the Iraqi Government to grant transit visas to the 1,000 refugee Jewish children stranded in Teheran, en route to Palestine under the terms of the White Paper?

Mr. Law

Arrangements have now been made by His Majesty's Government for the transport of the refugee children from the Persian Gulf to Haifa by sea. No further approach to the Iraqi Government is consequently necessary.
