§ MR. HOGANI beg to ask the Secretary of State for the Colonies, whether he will favourably consider the suggestion that a loan should be raised on an Imperial guarantee for the development of the resources of Dominica, and as the best available method of promptly relieving the Colony of its present embarrassments and removing the obstacles to its progress?
§ THE SECRETARY OF STATE FOR THE COLONIES (Mr. J. CHAMBERLAIN,) Birmingham, W.I am considering in what way any Imperial assistance can best be given towards the development of the resources of Dominica while duly safeguarding the interests of the British taxpayer, but I am not as yet in a position to make any statement on the subject.
