HC Deb 19 November 1964 vol 702 cc81-2W
47. Mr. Gurden

asked the Secretary of State for the Colonies what steps he has taken to secure from the Governments for which he is responsible the voluntary restriction of emigration to this country.

Mr. Greenwood

As the House now knows, the Government are examining the working of the present controls. In this examination we shall consider what matters there are on which discussions with colonial Governments may be called for and they have been so informed.

Mr. Geoffrey Lloyd

asked the Secretary of State for the Colonies what proposals he is making to the Government for which he is responsible for the prior training of intending emigrants to this country with a view to their more readily adapting themselves to conditions in this country.

Mr. Greenwood

I would refer the right hon. Member to my reply to the hon. Member for Birmingham, Selly Oak (Mr. Gurden) earlier today.
