§ Mr. PALINasked the Under-Secretary of State for Dominion Affairs whether 1785W there are any means whereby young persons who have been sent to the Dominions under migration schemes may be assisted to return to their friend in this country if they fail to make good through any cause other than their own misconduct?
§ Mr. LUNNNo arrangements are made by His Majesty's Government in the United Kingdom for the return of assisted migrants to this country. Assistance to migrate is only given to migrants approved by the representatives in this country of the Dominions to which they are proceeding, who, of course, have regard to the likelihood that the migrant concerned will make a satisfactory settlement, and juvenile migrants are only assisted when they are proceeding under the care of recognised voluntary organisations or under special schemes for juveniles arranged by an oversea Government, in which case the organisation or Government concerned undertakes responsibility for the welfare of the migrant during the first few years after arrival.
