§ SIR R. ASSHETON CROSSasked the right hon. and learned Gentleman the Home Secretary, Whether he could give the House any further information as to the deputation which waited on him from the Channel Islands with regard to the small islands between Jersey and France, and whether the Government had come to any decision in the matter?
§ SIR WILLIAM HARCOURTsaid, it was usual in matters where the Privy Council had to give an opinion that the question should be submitted to the Law Officers of the Crown. That course had been adopted in the present case, and he hoped it would be dealt with in a day or two.
