HC Deb 12 March 1946 vol 420 cc192-3W
122 .Lieut.-Colonel Thorp

asked the Secretary of State for War if he will make a statement regarding the unjustified conditions of crowding and living under which 250 junior officers of the Army and R.A.F. travelled from Rangoon to England on board the s.s. "Corfu" last month.

Mr. Lawson

The "Corfu" has not yet reached this country from Rangoon. I am taking steps to obtain a full report on conditions on board as soon as the ship arrives and I will then write to the hon. and gallant Member.
