HC Deb 11 July 1898 vol 61 c482
MR. TRITTON (Lambeth, Norwood)

I beg to ask the Secretary of State for the Colonies whether he has received a memorial from the inhabitants of Jamaica respecting a new spirit licence law recently passed by the Jamaica Legislature; and whether, in accordance with the prayer of the memorialists, he will advise Her Majesty the Queen to withhold Her assent from the Bill?

THE SECRETARY OF STATE FOR THE COLONIES

I have such a memorial from certain inhabitants of Jamaica. After careful consideration of the Bill Her Majesty has been advised to disallow the law.
