HC Deb 19 March 1889 vol 334 c126
MR. COCHRANE-BAILLE (St. Pancras, N.)

asked the Under Secretary of State for the Colonies whether any arrangements have been made for the extension of Licensing Laws to Katanu, a district of the Protectorate of Lagos, in accordance with the desire of the inhabitants, who have petitioned for some means of checking the unrestricted sale of liquor?

THE UNDER SECRETARY OF STATE FOR THE COLONIES (Baron H. de WORMS,) Liverpool, Toxteth

It will be seen, on reference to the report on Lagos, No. 4, presented to Parliament in December last, that the Secretary of State called for a Report from the Governor on this subject, but as yet no reply has been received. Accordingly the Governor was reminded by the last mail.
