§ SIR T. ESMONDEI beg to ask the Under Secretary of State for the Colonies if he will state what was the answer made by Her Majesty's Government to the protest of the Elective Members of the Dominica Assembly against the carriage, by the Governor's casting vote, of the Motion for the further loan of £10,000 for public works, in July, 1890; and what was the 1480 explanation offered by the Governor to the Secretary of State for the condition of the public works of the island as summed up in that protest?
§ BARON H. DE WORMSNo answer was made by Her Majesty's Government to the protest of the Elective Members of the Dominica Assembly, referred to in the question. The Governor, in a message to the Assembly immediately after the protest, gave a full explanation of the condition of the public works of the island. The explanation is too long to be embodied in an answer in the House, but a copy of the message can be seen by the hon. Baronet at the Colonial Office.
