HC Deb 22 June 1925 vol 185 c1094W
Mr. G. JONES

asked the Secretary of State for the Colonies what is the number of ex-service men who have had assisted emigration under Government schemes, and under the Empire Settlement Act?

Mr. AMERY

I would refer my hon. Friend to the answer which I gave on the 5th March last to a question asked by the hon. Member for Stowbridge (Mr. Pielou).

Colonel DAY

asked the Secretary of State for the Colonies what has been the result of the experiment to financially assist the two county migration committees that were started in Kent and Devon and Cornwall; and will he further encourage the formation of these committees in large towns by the provision of a whole-time secretary for such committees?

Mr. AMERY

The experience gained up to date of the working of the two county migration committees referred to is not sufficient to justify the extension suggested by the hon. and gallant Member.
