§ 76. Mr. Turtonasked the Minister of War Transport whether, in view of the long waiting list for berths to South Africa, he will recommend special priority for the travel of aged parents who wish to visit their children in South Africa before they die.
§ Mr. BarnesIregret that the pressure on passenger space in South Africa makes it impossible at present to provide for those who wish to travel solely for private reasons. If, however, urgent compassionate reasons exist, special consideration will be given to the merits of any particular case. If the person concerned is a South African national, the matter is one for the High Commissioner for South Africa.
