HC Deb 08 April 1897 vol 48 c737
* SIR CHARLES DILKE (Gloucester, Forest of Dean)

I beg to ask the Secretary of State for the Colonies whether it is possible to lay before the House a Memorandum on the liquor trade in West Africa, which has been for some time privately before the Chambers of Commerce, and to make the Return on the same subject granted to the House in August 1895?

THE SECRETARY OF STATE FOR THE COLONIES (Mr. J. CHAMBERLAIN, Birmingham, W.)

The Paper on the liquor traffic, containing the Memorandum to which the hon. Member refers, is in hand, and I hope to lay it, together with the Return granted to the House in August 1895, in a few days.
