97. Mr. B. Harrisonasked the Minister of State for Commonwealth Relations how much has been spent in 1959–60 under the Commonwealth Settlement 81W Act; and if he will consider sympathetically applications from non-government sources for assistance in migration.
§ Mr. AlportThe answer to the first part of the Question is £128,648 out of a sum of £170,512 voted for the purpose. It is expected that the remainder will be almost completely expended by the end of the financial year. As for the second part of the Question, my noble Friend will consider on their merits any applications he receives for assistance in migration schemes.
