HC Deb 13 July 1925 vol 186 c882W
Mr. FORREST

asked the President of the Board of Education whether, in view of the openings for boys in agricultural areas in the Dominions which offer specially cheap passages and welfare control, he can state what efforts are made In bring to the knowledge of children in the public schools the possibilities of overseas settlement?

Mr. ORMSBY-GORE

I have been asked to reply to this question. With the co-operation of the Board of Education, efforts are being made to give increased prominence to the study of the Empire in elementary schools. Information regarding the various schemes which have been arranged for the assisted migration of juveniles is brought to the notice of juvenile advisory committees of the Ministry of Labour, and of those local education authorities who are responsible for giving advice and assistance to young persons in regard to choice of employment.
