§ 77. Sir C. KINLOCH-COOKEasked the Secretary of State for Dominion Affairs whether his attention has been called to the fact that the outward movement of British subjects to British North America was less last year than in 1924, and that there was also a decrease in the outward movement of British subjects-to Australia; and whether, in view of the powers given under the Empire Settlement Act, he can explain the falling off in Empire migration?
§ Mr. AMERYThis falling off has been the subject of very careful inquiry by the Committee presided over by Sir Donald MacLean, and I beg to refer my hon. Friend to the Report of that Committee, which is available for Members to-day.
§ Sir C. KINLOCH-COOKECan the right hon. Gentleman say whether the fault lies overseas or on this side?
§ Mr. AMERYThat is a very wide question. I would ask my hon. Friend to read the Report, which is now available.
