§ Major GLYNasked the Secretary of State for Dominion Affairs whether, in view of the existing shortage of agricultural labour in this country and the number of men who have been in industrial employment and are anxious to take up an agricultural life, either overseas or at home, if adequate training facilities can be provided, he will reconsider the present decision of the Government, and in consultation with the Dominion Gov-eminent of Canada include those British migrants who have had an industrial occupation but who have now every intention of settling on the land?
§ Mr. AMERYI have every sympathy with the desire of my hon. and gallant Friend that assistance towards overseas settlement should be available to suitable persons in this country who are without agricultural experience, but wish 1391W to settle upon the land overseas. I cannot hold out hopes that in the absence of contribution from the Dominion Governments the training facilities now provided in this country can be largely extended, but I assume that my hon. and gallant Friend is aware that these facilities are exclusively for inexperienced persons.
