HC Deb 18 February 1908 vol 184 cc632-3
MAJOR ANSTRUTHER-GRAY

beg to ask the Under-Secretary of State for the Colonies whether the scheme of State-aided emigration has proved successful at St. Helena; how many of the inhabitants have availed themselves of it; and whether it still continues.

MR. CHURCHILL

It has not been found possible to arrange any scheme of emigration from St. Helena, but, as I informed the hon. Member in June last, a number of men have found employment in the Cape Colony.
