§ 79. Major Ramsayasked the Minister of Transport whether he will grant adequate facilities for Scottish women who are engaged to Americans to obtain passages to the U.S.A., as at present they are finding difficulty in doing so.
§ Mr. BarnesI am not able to grant special facilities to this class of passenger. The demand for passages across the North Atlantic greatly exceeds the accommodation available and some delay is inevitable. An intending passenger should apply to a shipping line for passage and, if all her documents are in order, may also ascertain from the nearest U.S. Consul whether the United States authorities are able to help in finding accommodation.
