§ MR. FAITHFULL BEGGI beg to ask the Secretary of State for the Colonies whether his attention has been called to a statement reported to have been made by the Finance Minister of Canada to the effect that an arrangement had been made whereby Canadian Government securities would be raised to the rank of trust investments in this country; and whether he has any information to this effect; and, if so, what were the regulations which it was proposed to make in connection with the arrangement.
§ SIR M. HICKS BEACHNo final settlement has yet been arrived at, but arrangements are in progress which will, I hope, lead to a satisfactory settlement of the question.
