HC Deb 09 July 1930 vol 241 cc452-3W
Mr. D. G. SOMERVILLE

asked the Under-Secretary of State for the Colonies the names of those Colonies where there are any openings at present for British emigrants; and whether, in these cases, he has taken any steps to stimulate emigration from this country?

Dr. SHIELS

Owing mainly to climatic reasons, there are few openings in the Colonies, as distinguished from the Dominions, for settlers from this country who are not in possession of considerable capital. There are not at present in operation any schemes of assisted migration to the Colonies.
