§ MR. ROBERT WALLACE (Edinburgh, E.)I beg to ask the Under Secretary of State for Foreign Affairs whether he is aware that the Imperial British East Africa Company permits Members of this House to peruse the unmutilated copy of Captain Lugard's Report at their offices for "private and confidential information only"; and whether, having regard to the facts that this Company is the beneficiary of a Royal Charter and the recipient of 1710 public money, he will put some pressure upon it to grant such a perusal of the Report as May be of service for purposes of Parliamentary discussion?
§ THE UNDER SECRETARY OF STATE FOR FOREIGN AFFAIRS (Sir E. GREY,) Northumberland, BerwickI understand that the statement in the first paragraph of the question is accurate; but Her Majesty's Government have no power to put pressure on the Company.
