HC Deb 09 July 1925 vol 186 cc621-2W
Colonel PERKINS

asked the Minister of Health whether, in view of the fact that boy settlers are most popular in the Dominions, and that not 1 per cent. of prospective employers are at present suited, he is taking steps to bring to the notice of all the boards of guardians the types required and the careful provision made for their welfare by the Governments of the Dominions concerned?

Mr. CHAMBERLAIN

This is primarily a matter for the Oversea Settlement Committee, but my Department works in close co-operation with the Committee and has furnished all boards of guardians with particulars of the various schemes for the settlement of juveniles in the Oversea Dominions and of the financial assistance available.
