§ MR. WILLIAM REDMONDI beg to ask the Secretary of State for War how much has been paid to the Colonial Governments in reference to the visit of Imperial troops to Australia; and whether any, and, if so, what portion of the expense of the visit has been paid by the Colonial Governments.
* LORD STANLEYNo payment has been made to the Colonial Governments in this connection, as the Imperial troops are to be the guests of the Colonies, during their visit.
