§ 23. Captain CAZALETasked the Secretary of State for Dominion Affairs what subsidy or other assistance is available to the migrant or his family from this country who desires to take up work other than agricultural work in Canada; and whether there is any difference in the granting of such subsidies to the individual who proceeds to take up a definite occupation or who desires to proceed to Canada in order to find occupation.
§ Mr. AMERYAll British migrants proceeding to Canada for the purpose of permanent settlement are eligible for the new £10 ocean passage rate which has been arranged with the steamship companies. The answer to the second part of my hon. and gallant Friend's question is in the negative.
§ 22. Mr. SMEDLEY CROOKEasked the Secretary of State for Dominion Affairs if, in any scheme of Empire development, he will consider the advisability of pressing for some agreement with the 1553 Dominions that migrants' national insurances (health and unemployment) shall not lapse but become operative in any of the Dominions so long as contributions are continued, giving the settlers similar benefits as obtain in the mother country?
§ Mr. AMERYI would invite my hon. Friend's attention to paragraph 24 of the Report of the Inter-Departmental Committee appointed to consider the effect on Migration of Schemes of Social Insurance a copy of which I am having forwarded to him.
