§ COMMANDER BETHELL (York, E.R., Holderness)asked the Secretary of State for the Colonies, Whether he has any objection to requesting the Governors of all Colonies to furnish an Annual Report, for presentation to Parliament, of the state and progress of the countries over which they respectively rule?
§ THE SECRETARY OP STATE (Sir HENRY HOLLAND) (Hampstead)Reports of the kind indicated by the hon. and gallant Member are annually made and presented to Parliament; but, if he will communicate privately with me as to any point in which he considers these Blue Book Reports defective, I shall be happy to consider it.
