HC Deb 27 February 1899 vol 67 cc626-7
MR. MCKENNA (Monmouth, N.)

I beg to postpone asking the Secretary of State for the Colonies whether he can state if the Honourable A. B. Morine, formerly a Minister of the Colony of Newfoundland, was dispensed from further service in his office by the Governor of the Colony on grounds appertaining to his conduct as a Minister. But I will take the opportunity of asking whether it is proposed to take the Colonial Estimates to-day?

THE FIRST LORD OF THE TREASURY (Mr. A. J. BALFOUR,) Manchester, E.

Not in the absence of the Colonial Secretary.
