HC Deb 22 April 1901 vol 92 cc910-1
MR. WILLIAM REDMOND

I beg to ask the Secretary of State for the Colonies whether the Paper he promised some time ago in reference to the old age pension question in the colonies has yet been published; and whether copies will be supplied to Members of the House.

MR. J. CHAMBERLAIN

The New Zealand Acts and Reports and the New South Wales Act, referred to in the answer which I gave to the hon. Member last February, have already been placed in the Library of the House; copies of the Acts passed in Victoria will now be similarly placed, but no further Reports on the working of these colonial schemes have since been received.

MR. WILLIAM REDMOND

Will they also be distributed among Members?

MR. J. CHAMBERLAIN

No, Sir; I do not think that that is necessary.
