HC Deb 27 July 1885 vol 300 c66 66

§ SIR GEORGE CAMPBELL
asked, Whether there was to be any Vote proposed for the High Commissioner of New Guinea?

in reply, said, he was afraid that there could be no Vote for the High Commissioner of New Guinea, because negotiations with the Colonies were still proceeding, and they did not know what expenses would be required.
