§ SIR CHARLES DILKE (Gloucestershire, Forest of Dean)To ask the 1255 President of the Local Government Board if he will state how many adult males have recently been sent to New Zealand by unemployed committees receiving aid from rates or public taxes, and how many sent elsewhere across the seas.
(Answered by Mr. John Burns.) Up to May 31st last, the Central (Unemployed) Body for London had sent 350 adult males to the Colonies, viz. 41 to New Zealand and 309 to Canada. The Returns from the Distress Committees outside London show that, up to March 31st last, they had sent 152 adult males to the Colonies, all of whom went to Canada. The later figures have not yet been received.
