§ Sir N. Grattan-Doyleasked the Secretary of State for Dominion Affairs whether The 1820 Association receives any grants from the Government and, if so, of what amount; and whether any reports are received as to the progress made by those who are settled on farms under its auspices?
Mr. M. MacDonaldThe answer to the first part of the question is in the affirmative. The total of the grants for the year ending 30th June last was approximately £4,250. The Association receives quarterly reports upon all student farming settlers during their training, which normally covers a period of three years, but is often longer.
