§ 11. Mr. COUPERasked the Secretary of State for Dominion Affairs what directions have been drafted for the purpose of the impending visit to Canada, Australia and New Zealand of the Undersecretary of State for Dominion Affairs; whether he has been empowered to enter into any fresh migration agreements; and whether such schemes as the pioneer-settlement scheme in Canada are being held up until the conclusion of his tour?
§ Mr. ORMSBY-GORENo, Sir; no special directions have been drafted, but Lord Lovat hopes to discuss all matters relating to oversea settlement with the authorities and with representatives of private organisations in the Dominions 1829 which he is visiting, and to negotiate such further extensions of the present policy as may appear feasible. It is not intended that any schemes should be held up until the conclusion of his tour.
§ Mr. COUPERWill consideration be extended to the recommendations of the Industrial Transference Board?
§ Mr. ORMSBY-GOREI think all cognate subjects relating to the problem of migration will come under review.
