§ MR. GEORGE PALMERasked the Under Secretary of State for Foreign Affairs, Whether be will lay upon the Table of the House a Copy of Admiral Gore Jones's official Report of his visit to Madagascar last year?
§ SIR CHARLES W. DILKEsaid, the Question was one for his hon. Friend the Secretary to the Admiralty to answer.
§ MR. CAMPBELL-BANNERMANsaid, the Admiralty had not considered the matter; but he did not think there would be any objection to consulting with the Admiralty, if necessary, with a view to the Report being laid on the Table.
§ LORD RANDOLPH CHURCHILLasked, with reference to Madagascar, if it were true that a deputation from that Island would be received at the Foreign Office to-morrow; and, whether, if they had an audience of Her Majesty, they would be received with the usual ceremony?
§ SIR CHARLES W. DILKEsaid, the Question of the noble Lord was rather irregular. The deputation would be received to-morrow afternoon; but he had not heard that they had applied for an audience of Her Majesty.
