§ SIR G. BADEN-POWELLI beg to ask the Under Secretary of State for the Colonies whether Her Majesty's Government has come to any decision in respect of Sir Robert Hamilton's Report 166 on Dominica; and, if so, whether he can indicate what the decision of the Government is, and present to the House the Report itself, together with such Correspondence as will suffice to explain the decision of the Government?
§ THE UNDER SECRETARY OF STATE FOR THE COLONIES (Mr. S. BUXTON,) Tower Hamlets, PoplarWe have been giving the matter our best consideration. But the Papers are very voluminous, and a question of this nature cannot safely be dealt with rapidly. I should hope a decision will be taken shortly.
