HC Deb 25 June 1896 vol 42 c71
MR. HOGAN

I beg to ask the Secretary of State for the Colonies, whether the immediate appointment of an Australian judge as a Member of the Judicial Committee of the Privy Council is contemplated; and, if so, what plan of nomination will be adopted?

MR. CHAMBERLAIN

I have been in confidential communication with the Australian Governors upon the subject, and I cannot at present give the hon. Member any further information.
