§ MR. STANLEY LEIGHTON (Shropshire, Oswestry)I beg to ask the Cinder Secretary of State for the Colonies whether the Government have received any communications from the Australian Governments in reference to the reinstatement of Clause 8, expunged by the Select Committee, into the Western Australia Constitution Bill, and if he can state to the House the purport of such communications?
§ THE UNDER SECRETARY OF STATE FOR THE COLONIES (Baron H. DE WORMS,) Liverpool, East ToxtethNo communication as to its re-instatement have been received, but a representation has been made by the Government of South Australia urging the omission of Clause 8, on the ground that all the Australasian colonies should be placed on the same footing as regards immigration.
