§ SIR GEORGE CAMPBELL (Kirkcaldy)I wish to ask the Under Secretary of State for the Colonies if it is intended to hand over all the land in Western Australia suitable for European Colonization to a handful of Colonists, and to take it away from Imperial control?
§ *BARON H. DE WORMSNo, Sir; the Government have no such intention. I have previously answered several questions put by the hon. Member on exactly the same subject; and I can only repeat that it is absolutely impossible for me to enter into the details of a scheme which has not yet been decided upon, and which, before it is definitely adopted, must come before Parliament in a special Bill.
§ SIR GEORGE CAMPBELLI shall draw attention to the subject in Committee of Supply.
