HC Deb 27 June 1899 vol 73 cc762-3
MR. HOGAN (Tipperary, Mid)

I beg to ask the Secretary of State for the Colonies whether he contemplates any specific course of action in regard to the introduction of a Bill enabling the Australian Colonies to organise themselves into a Federated Australian Commonwealth, in view of the fact that all the obstacles to federal union have now been removed.

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

I hope that the Bill may be received in time to be introduced at the beginning of the next session.
