§ LORD ASHLEYasked whether Ministers, seeing the great and intense interest upon the subject of emigration, were prepared to take that subject into consideration during the recess, with a view to diffuse information, and afford facilities to those who desired to emigrate; he did not mean by an advance of money from the public funds?
§ LORD J. RUSSELLcould assure the noble Lord that the Government would be very happy to take any steps that might tend to diffuse information upon the subject. He thought that it would not be desirable, even if they had the means, to propose at present any large grant for the purpose, and that those who were desirous of emigrating would do much better to concert among themselves to make their emigration regular and well conducted than to look to the Government.
§ LORD ASHLEYWith the aid of whatever facilities the Government can afford.
