§ Major Bramallasked the Minister of Transport when additional shipping is likely to be available for passengers wishing to travel to Australia.
§ Mr. BarnesAdditional passenger shipping for Australia should be available early in the New Year when the "Orion," with a capacity of about 1,286, is due to complete her reconditioning. Subsequent increase is dependent on the rate at which it is possible to release further ships from trooping and refit them for passenger service.
