§ 6. Mr. Dayasked the Secretary of State for Dominion Affairs particulars of any decisions reached by the Oversea Settlement Board as to the possibility of an early resumption of migration; and what special schemes the board have found it possible to recommend?
§ The Secretary of State for Dominion Affairs (Sir Thomas Inskip)The report of the Oversea Settlement Board, presented in May last and issued in June as Command Paper No. 5766, sets out the views of the board on the whole question of migration from this country to the Dominions and also indicates the attitude of Dominion Governments towards a resumption of assisted migration. Assisted passage schemes are at present in operation, for certain categories of migrants, in the case of Australia and Southern Rhodesia, but the Governments of Canada and New Zealand have not so far felt able to co-operate again in such schemes.
§ Mr. DayHave the Government come to any definite conclusion as to Government assistance for voluntary societies?
§ Sir T. InskipAssisted passages are being undertaking to Australia and Southern Rhodesia, as my answer stated.
§ Sir T. InskipI understand that the question arises, to some extent, out of the activities of the voluntary societies.
