§ MR. KNATCHBULL-HUGESSENasked the Under Secretary of State for the Colonies, Whether the Gold Coast policy of the Government will involve any increase of the Colonial Estimates for the present year; and, if so, whether he will take care that those Estimates shall come on at such an hour as will insure an opportunity of their full discussion?
§ MR. J. LOWTHERYes, Sir, it will be necessary to introduce a Supplementary Estimate in aid of the Revenues of the Gold Coast. I hope to be in a position to lay it before the House upon an early day after Whitsuntide, and will take the opportunity of making a statement regarding the policy of the Government upon this question. Full Notice will be given, and ample opportunity afforded for discussion.
