§ MR. HANKEYsaid, he would beg to ask the Secretary of State for the Colonies whether it is true that orders have been sent out to the West Indies, or whether transports have been taken up in this country for the removal of the British Troops which are now remaining in those Colonies?
THE CHANCELLOR OF THE EXCHEQUER; Sir, my right hon. Friend the Secretary for the Colonies is not present, but I can answer the question. It is not the intention of the Government to remove any Troops from the British Colonies in the West Indies.
