§ MR. SETON-KARR (St. Helen's)I beg to ask the Lord Advocate whether it is proposed to continue the colonisation of crofters from the Highlands and Islands of Scotland to North West Canada, by sending out any more families this Spring or in the Spring of 1892; if so, by what date they will be sent; how many; and whether to the existing crofter settlements of Saltcoats and Killarney, or to some other district in the Dominion?
§ MR J. P. B. ROBERTSONThe recommendations made by the Select Committee on Colonisation are at present receiving the consideration of Her Majesty's Government, but whatever their ultimate decision may be, it will not be possible for the Secretary for Scotland to make the arrangements contemplated by the hon. Member during this Spring as the season is already too far advanced for colonisation this year.
§ MR. SETON-KARRAS to next Spring?
§ MR. J. P. B. ROBERTSONI cannot say.
