HC Deb 03 May 1911 vol 25 c429
Mr. CROFT

asked the Prime Minister hat steps he proposed to take in order to direct, as far as possible, the stream of emigration from the United Kingdom to countries within the Empire; and whether the Government proposed to accomplish this end by means of subsidy or otherwise?

Mr. HARCOURT

The subject of emigration will be discussed at the Imperial Conference, and it is not proposed to take further steps meanwhile. His Majesty's Government is not prepared to subsidise emigration.
