HC Deb 26 June 1900 vol 84 c1129
MR. HOGAN

I beg to ask the Secretary of State for the Colonies whether he has received proposals from the Premier of New Zealand for the enlargement of the boundaries of that Colony, with a view to the incorporation of neighbouring groups of islands; and, if so, whether he has any objection to specifying the suggested acquisitions.

MR. J. CHAMBERLAIN

I have received from the Governor of Now Zealand a memorandum by his Prime Minister, in which he suggests that certain groups of islands might be incorporated in the Colony. The islands specified are the Cook group and the Fiji and Friendly Islands.
