HC Deb 11 February 1898 vol 53 c368
COLONEL MILWARD

I beg to ask the Secretary of State for the Colonies whether, having regard to the general interest taken in the question, he will be able to make an early statement with regard to the policy to be pursued by Her Majesty's Government in relief of the distress in the West Indies?

THE SECRETARY OF STATE FOR THE COLONIES

I cannot explain exactly how it will be at the present time, but we will take care that there shall be full discussion.

COLONEL MILWARD

I would ask the right hon. Gentleman if he has any information?

THE SECRETARY OF STATE FOR THE COLONIES (RT. HON. J. CHAMBERLAIN)

No, I have no information.
