§ 110. Mr. Stokesasked the Minister of Labour why there is such a delay in granting permits for displaced persons to enter this country and engage in useful work; and whether he is aware that there are many hundreds who would gladly accept employment of a domestic nature but who are both temperamentally and physically unsuited for employment in hospitals and sanatoria.
§ Mr. IsaacsThere is no avoidable delay in issuing permits for displaced persons nominated by their prospective employers, but there are great difficulties in obtaining transport to this country. A note on transport arrangements containing some advice on this matter is issued to prospective employers at the same time as the issue of the permit. While the needs of hospitals and sanatoria remain substantially unsatisfied, I cannot consider making additional official arrangements for the recruitment and transportation to this country of displaced persons for private domestic employment.
