HC Deb 01 February 1944 vol 396 c1148W
Mr. Lipson

asked the Under-Secretary of State for Dominion Affairs if he will provide facilities to enable British mothers, who took their children to Canada early in the war, to return to this country if they so desire.

Mr. Emrys-Evans

The possibility of providing accommodation for mothers who took their children to Canada early in the war and now wish to return to the United Kingdom, is constantly under review. It must be remembered, however, that owing to the needs of war, which must be given absolute priority, the number of passages available for carrying women and children is inevitably very limited.
