AUSTRALIAN COMMONWEALTH BILL —INTERVENTION OF COLONIAL GOVERNORS.

HC Deb 25 June 1900 vol 84 cc908-9

MR. MACLEAN (Cardiff)

I beg to ask the Secretary of State for the Colonies whether he has received any remonstrances from Australia, or from the Australian delegates in England, against the intervention of Lord Lamington and Lord Beauchamp in the discussion on the Commonwealth Bill.

MR. J. CHAMBERLAIN

No, Sir.

MR. WILLIAM REDMOND

Has the attention of the right hon. Gentle- man been called to the action of the Governor of New South Wales in taking part in the controversy on the Amendment to this Bill?

*MR. SPEAKER

The hon. Member had better give notice of that question.

MR. WILLIAM REDMOND

I will do so for to-morrow.
