HC Deb 13 November 1917 vol 99 c206
42. Major HUNT

asked whether large numbers of British ex-Service men can be absorbed on the land in Australia without financial assistance from the Home Government?

Mr. HEWINS

I must refer the hon. and gallant Member to pages 7 to 10, 22 and 23 of the Empire Settlement Committee's Report, and more particularly to paragraph 134.

Major HUNT

Why does not the hon. Gentleman answer the plain question on the Paper?

Mr. HEWINS

I think the plain question is answered.

Major HUNT

No!
