§ Mr. W. GRAHAMasked the Secretary of State for the Colonies whether, in the case of ex-service men out of employment for whom work can be secured and homes found in our overseas Dominions, the facilities given by the Overseas Settlement Committee up to the end of 1921 will be again renewed, in view of the fact that many ex-service men are now applying for Poor Law relief who could by this means be enabled to support themselves and their families?
§ Mr. AMERYIt is not intended to extend the Government free passage scheme for ex-service men, but if and when the Empire Settlement Bill, promised in the Gracious Speech from the Throne, becomes law, it is hoped that new schemes will be arranged under which in suitable cases assistance may be given for purposes of settlement in other parts of the Empire.
