§ MR. CATHCART WASON (Orkney and Shetland)I beg to ask the Secretary of State for the Colonies if the Report of the Scottish Agricultural Commission upon farming and land settlement in Denmark has been brought to his notice; and if, in view of the importance of land and labour settlement in this country, he will include inquiry into the said Report in the terms of reference to the Departmental Committee which is to be set up to consider Mr. Rider Haggard's Report.
§ MR. LYTTELTONThe terms of reference to the Departmental Committee will be as follows:—"To consider the suggestions made in Mr. Rider Haggard's Report on the Salvation Army Colonies in the United States and at Hadleigh, and to advise the Government whether any steps can usefully be taken for promoting agricultural settlements of persons taken from the cities of this country either in the British Colonies or in the United Kingdom." The attention of the Committee will be called to the Report which the hon. Member has been good enough to send to me, with any other Reports germane to the subject.
