HC Deb 30 April 1874 vol 218 c1411
ALDERMAN SIR JAMES LAWRENCE

asked the Under Secretary of State for the Colonies, Whether it is the intention of the Government to carry out the agreement entered into with Western Australia for free emigration to that Colony?

MR. J. LOWTHER

Sir, this question was considered by the late Government, by whom it was decided that there were not sufficient grounds for recommending to Parliament a Vote for the purpose of sending emigrants to Western Australia.
