§ Mr. SNELLasked the Secretary of State for Dominion Affairs whether he is aware that a number of men leave this country for the Colonies accompanied by women who are not their wives and deserting their legal wives and children; and will he say whether there are any facilities for controlling the departure of such persons in the case of State-assisted schemes of emigration?
§ Mr. AMERYEvery precaution is taken in connection with applications under State-aided schemes of migration to obviate the possibility of a married man being assisted to proceed overseas with a woman who is not his wife, and cases of this nature are of very rare occurrence under these schemes.
