HC Deb 02 March 1900 vol 79 cc1527-8
MR. WILLIAM REDMOND () Clare, E.

I beg to ask the Secretary of State for the Colonies whether the Australian Federation Bill will be introduced before Easter, and if not when it will be introduced.

MR. J. CHAMBERLAIN

No date can be named for the introduction of the Bill until I have had the advantage of meeting the Australian delegates now on their way to this country; but it will probably not be introduced until after Easter.
