§ Lieut.-Colonel HEADLAMasked the Secretary of State for the Colonies whether His Majesty's Government is considering any scheme for the establishment of group settlements within the Dominions?
§ Mr. AMERYFor the moment, I can only answer my hon. and gallant Friend's question in the negative. The Western Australian scheme is at present in abeyance, but His Majesty's Government see no reason to depart from the view accepted by the Imperial Economic Conference of 1923 as to the possibilities of such schemes, and will be prepared to co-operate with Dominion Governments in any suitable scheme.
§ Sir H. FOSTERasked the Secretary of State for the Colonies whether, in view of the publicity given by his Department to the increased facilities offered to those desiring to emigrate to Canada, he will 2012W consider the advisability of giving equal publicity to the scheme known as the Big Brother Movement to assist those desirous of emigrating to Australia?
§ Mr. AMERYThe Big Brother Movement has already attracted much attention as a matter of Imperial interest both in the public Press and otherwise. My hon. Friend may, I think, rest assured that it will continue to do so as it develops in Australia.
