HC Deb 09 March 1911 vol 22 cc1394-5
Sir C. KINLOCH-COOKE

asked the Secretary of State for the Colonies what specific steps have been taken by His Majesty's Government to carry into effect the Resolution unanimously agreed to at the last Imperial Conference that the Imperial Government be requested to co-operate with any Colonies desiring immigrants in assisting suitable persons to emigrate?

The SECRETARY of STATE for the COLONIES (Mr. Harcourt)

In my reply on the 2nd instant I referred the hon. Gentleman to the Note printed on page 25 of Cd. 5273. I have nothing to add to that note.

Sir C. KINLOCH-COOKE

Is it not the fact that no steps have been taken?

Mr. HARCOURT

I have referred the hon. Member to the Note, and I have nothing to add to that.

Sir C. KINLOCH-COOKE

May I press for an answer. Is it not the fact that no steps have been taken?

Mr. HARCOURT

If the hon. Member wishes to put a further question perhaps he will give notice.
