HC Deb 02 June 1892 vol 5 c443
MR. ROBERTSON (Dundee)

I beg to ask the Under Secretary of State for the Colonies whether any communication has been received from Sir Walter Sendall, the Governor of Cyprus, on the subject of the resolution unanimously passed on the motion of Mons. G. Chacalli, to the effect that the Turkish Tribute should be paid out of the Imperial Treasury; and whether the Colonial Office intends to take steps to give effect to the resolution?

THE UNDER SECRETARY OF STATE FOR THE COLONIES (Baron H. de WORMS,) Liverpool, East Toxteth

The High Commissioner has not yet reported the resolution referred to in the first part of the hon. Member's question. The second part of the question is one which should be more properly addressed to the Chancellor of the Exchequer.
