HC Deb 22 August 1945 vol 413 c623W
Mr. Touche

asked the Under-Secretary of State for Dominion Affairs if he is aware of the hardship and expense incurred by the wives of Canadian Servicemen owing to delays in their repatriation to Canada; and whether he can make any statement on the subject.

Mr. Parker

Passages to Canada for the wives of Canadian Servicemen are arranged by the Canadian authorities, who are, I know, most anxious that delay, with its resultant hardship, should be reduced to a minimum. Any delay that has occurred, is due to the shortage of shipping available.
