HC Deb 24 February 1902 vol 103 cc900-1
MR. ALFRED DAVIES (Carmarthen Boroughs)

I beg to ask the Secretary of State for the Colonies if he can inform the House who was recently elected in Malta to represent the Maltese at His Majesty's coming Coronation; and further, will he say who stood for election, and the number of votes given to each candidate.

THE SECRETARY OF STATE FOR THE COLONIES (Mr. J. CHAMBERLAIN, Birmingham, W.)

There has been no such election in Malta as the hon. Member refers to.

MR. ALFRED DAVIES

Can the right hon. Gentleman say how they elect such a representative?

MR. J. CHAMBERLAIN

I have not the remotest idea.

MR. ALFRED DAVIES

Arising out of that, may I say that I shall have much pleasure in informing him?
