§ 16. Mr. RAMSDENasked the Secretary of State for the Colonies whether, in view of the importance attached by the imperial Conference in 1923 to a policy of overseas settlement in the attaining of Empire well-being, he proposes to submit to the forthcoming Conference a Report of what His Majesty's Government have achieved since 1923; and, if so, whether, in view of the small results obtained since 1923, he will submit at the same time any concrete schemes for the provision of financial assistance from Great Britain to help in a continuous and scientific distribution of population within the Empire?
§ Mr. ORMSBY-GOREIt is proposed that the question of oversea settlement within the Empire should be considered at the forthcoming Imperial Conference when the results which have been achieved since the Imperial Economic Conference of 1923 will be reviewed. His Majesty's Government are anxious to co-operate with Dominion Governments to the fullest extent possible in this matter; and the best means of further developing their policy in this respect will, I hope, be thoroughly discussed during the Conference.
§ Mr. WARDLAW-MILNEHas there been any change in the Imperial Conference arrangements, in view of the political conditions in Canada:
§ Mr. ORMSBY-GOREI have not heard of any.
