HC Deb 18 June 1906 vol 158 c1360
MR. VINCENT KENNEDY (Cavan, W.)

I beg to ask the Under-Secretary of State for the Colonies if he will state what are the conditions which attach to the payment of the bounty to emigration agents by the Canadian Government in respect of emigrants from Ireland.

*MR. CHURCHILL

The bonus is paid to such steamship booking agents as are recognised by the Canadian Immigration Department upon tickets for Canada sold in any part of the United Kingdom to persons whose occupation is, and has been for at least one year, one of the following, viz.:—farmers, farm-labourers, gardeners, stablemen, carters, railway section-men, navvies or miners, and who have signified their intention of following farming in Canada, and to female domestic servants.
