§ DR. O'DOHERTY (Meath, N.)asked the honourable Member for North-West 743 Staffordshire, Whether any part of the galleries of this House is reserved for Members of Colonial Legislatures desiring to be present during a sitting?
THE LORD OF THE TREASURY (Mr. LEVESON GOWER) (Stafford, N.W.)In reply to the Question of the hon. Member, I have to say that this matter is not under the control of the Office of Works; but I am given to understand that, the space for the accommodation of strangers being very limited, no place is reserved for Members of Colonial Legislatures, though I have no doubt the proper authorities would endeavour, when practicable, to give a seat to Colonial Members who wished to attend a debate.
