HC Deb 11 April 1889 vol 335 c253
MR. BRADLAUGH

Can the right hon. Baronet the Under Secretary of State for Foreign Affairs give the House any information concerning the emigrants to the Argentine Republic?

*SIR J. FERGUSSON

We have heard from Buenos Ayres that about 1,000 Irish emigrants arrived there in February, all of whom have settled; 700 English arrived on the 3rd inst; all except seven families are employed. Eight hundred English are expected to arrive to-morrow. Arrangements to obtain employment for them are being made. In consequence of the large number of persons emigrating to the Argentine Republic, arrangements have been made by which their departure will be known, so that her Majesty's Minister may give them any assistance on their arrival of which they may stand in need.
