§ SIR THOMAS ESMONDE (Dublin Co., S.)I beg to ask the Secretary of State for the Colonies if the Government will consider favourably the Resolution adopted at the recent meeting of the Australasian Federal Council, praying that the restrictions on British trade with the Natives of the islands of the Pacific might be made to apply alike to all Nationalities?
§ THE UNDER SECRETARY OF STATE FOR THE COLONIES (Baron H. de WORMS, Liverpool, East Toxteth)It will be desirable to receive the text of the Resolution before attempting to judge what can be done in the matter.
