§ Colonel YATEasked the President of the Local Government Board whether, in view of the suggestions for the help of women emigrants published under the signatures of so many lady presidents of women's aid societies, and of the fact that there was now an excess of 1,330,399 females over males in the population of the United Kingdom, and that this excess was steadily increasing, he would consider the question of co-operating with those women's aid societies in their efforts to promote the cause of female emigration?
§ The PRESIDENT of the LOCAL GOVERNMENT BOARD (Mr. Burns)I do not think I can usefully add anything to the reply which I gave to the hon. Member's question on the 12th instant.
