HC Deb 12 November 1888 vol 330 c907
MR. KIMBER (Wandsworth)

asked the First Lord of the Treasury, When it is his intention to move the appointment of a Committee to inquire into the question of State Colonization, which he was good enough to promise on the part of the Government on the 9th of August last?

THE FIRST LORD (Mr. W. H. SMITH) (Strand, Westminster)

, in reply, said, he hoped that the matter would come before the House in a few days. Undoubtedly an opportunity for debate would arise on the Votes. He by no means wished to convey that there might not also be a debate on the Motion for a Committee, if the House generally desired to prolong the Session for the purpose.
