IMMIGRATION.
NO NEW AGREEMENT. Per Press Association. WELLINGTON, Sept. 27. The Leader of the Opposition (Mr H. E. Holland) asked in the House of Representatives to-day whether any arrangements had been made to bring British immigrants to New Zealand either immediately or at some future date. Rt. Hon. J. G. Coates said agreements made with the British Government were trade agreements and would be placed before Parliament. Mr Holland: There is nothing relating to immigration? Mr Coates: No. Replying to the debate on the report of the Immigration Department, the Minister (Hon. J. A. Young) gave an assurance that no fresh contracts were being made in respect of immigration. It was true one or two people had been entering the country, but in these cases entrance had been gained under the old contracts. The Minister added that he had written on several occasions to the High Commissioner regarding advertisements in British papers on the subject of emigration to New Zealand and had pointed out that the advertisements had been published without authority.
