HC Deb 07 March 1916 vol 80 c1360
77. Sir C. KINLOCH-COOKE

asked the Secretary for the Colonies whether he is aware that the Commonwealth Government in Australia and the Dominion Government in Canada are considering schemes of land settlement for the benefit of ex-soldiers and sailors at the conclusion of the War; and will he consider the advisability of approaching the Prime Ministers of Australia and Canada with a view of arriving at some comprehensive scheme to include land settlement in this country as well as in Canada and Australia?

The SECRETARY of STATE for the COLONIES (Mr. Bonar Law)

The answer to the question of my hon. Friend, who I know has always taken a great interest in the subject of emigration, is in the affirmative.
