§ Sir W. Smilesasked the Minister of Transport on what date will a family from County Down, father, mother and four children, who wish to emigrate to South Africa and whose names were registered in August, 1945, be likely to obtain passages.
§ Mr. BarnesI regret that I am unable to indicate a date, but the family to which the hon. Member refers should keep in touch with the shipping line with whom they are registered, who will allocate passages in accordance with the date of registration I am in touch with the High Commissioner for South Africa on this subject of providing passages for immigrants into that country, but I cannot yet say whether any early improvement will be possible.
