HC Deb 13 May 1887 vol 314 c1816

In reply to Mr. CHILDERS (Edinburgh, S.),

THE SECRETARY OF STATE FOR THE COLONIES (Sir HENRY HOLLAND) (Hampstead)

said, that his former answer as to the publication of the Minutes of the Conference was not strictly correct. The Papers and Minutes would be revised; and it was possible that the proceedings referring to the New Hebrides and the negotiations with Franco might not be included; but no decision had yet been arrived at.

MR. CHILDERS

The Papers as to the naval arrangement will be included?

SIR HENRY HOLLAND

Absolutely.

SIR GEORGE CAMPBELL (Kirkcaldy, &c.)

As also those relating to New Guinea?

SIR HENRY HOLLAND

Yes.
