§ Major BIRCHALLasked the Parliamentary Secretary to the Overseas Trade Department whether he will encourage the formation of local migration and settlement committees in large towns by providing the cost of a whole-time secretary for such committees?
§ Mr. LUNNIt has been decided, as an experiment, to financially assist two county migration committees, one in Kent, and one in Devon and Cornwall. But it is not intended to afford financial help to other local migration committees until the result of these experiments can be ascertained. If it is decided to extend this practice, the hon. Member's suggestion will be borne in mind.
