HC Deb 07 June 1898 vol 58 c864
MR. O'KELLY (Roscommon, North)

I beg to ask the Secretary of State for the Colonies whether the bounties on the exportation of agricultural produce paid by certain British Colonies are to come under the consideration of the Brussels Conference?

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

The Brussels Conference is convened to consider the question of bounties on sugar. I am not aware to what bounties or supposed bounties the Question refers; but I presume that the Conference will not consider any other bounties than those on sugar.

MR. O'KELLY

I will put another Question.

THE SECRETARY OF STATE FOR THE COLONIES

It is no use repeating the Question. I have given the best answer I can.

MR. O'KELLY

I will put another Question.
