asked the Secretary of State for the Colonies if he is aware that air passages for Indians and Arabs coming to this country to join British ships are being provided at Aden at a charge of £150; and that an extra charge is made to them for the services of boarding house keepers who find the ships; and what steps he is taking to prevent this.

Mr. Creech Jones:

I have no information on the subject, but I am consulting the Governor of Aden, and will communicate with my hon. Friend as soon as I have received his reply.
