HC Deb 27 February 1957 vol 565 cc171-2W
74. Mrs. Braddock

asked the Secretary of State for the Colonies if he will make arrangements for the repatriation to Bardados of three seamen, details of whom have been sent to him, in view of the fact that they are now a charge upon National Assistance and have expressed a desire to return to Barbados.

Mr. Profumo

My right hon. Friend has no power to spend public money on repatriation, but I am having further inquiries made about this case and will write to the hon. Member.
