HC Deb 14 June 1901 vol 95 c416
MR. WILLIAM REDMOND

I beg to ask the Secretary of State for the Colonies whether it is intended to continue to refuse the Royal Assent to the Queensland Asiatic Bill in case that or a similar measure should be presented for assent by the Parliament of the Australian Commonwealth.

MR. J. CHAMBERLAIN

The question is purely hypothetical, and the hon. Member is aware that I cannot answer such questions.
