HC Deb 15 March 1900 vol 80 c923
DR. TANNER

I beg to ask the Secretary of State for the Colonies if the Report compiled by the two Royal Commissioners, Sir James Erskine and Sir John Bramston, dealing with the French treaty shore question in Newfoundland, will be printed and issued to Members.

MR. J. CHAMBERLAIN

I have already stated in reply to similar questions* that it is not intended to publish the Report at present.

DR. TANNER

Will there be any means by which Members of this House can obtain cognisance of this Report, or is it to remain hidden?

*MR. SPEAKER

Order, order! * See The Parliamentary Debates [Fourth Series], Vol. Lxxvii., page 443.
