HC Deb 02 June 1902 vol 108 c1113
MR. JAMES O'KELLY (Roscommon, N.)

I beg to ask the Secretary for the Colonies whether the Government of the Dominion of Canada has disallowed certain Acts of the Legislature of British Columbia restricting the immigration and employment of Asiatics; and, if so, whether this action is sanctioned by the Imperial Government.

MR. J. CHAMBERLAIN

The Governor General of Canada has, on the advice of his Ministers, disallowed certain Acts of the Legislature of British Columbia which imposed serious disabilities on Japanese and other friendly powers. His Majesty's Government have seen the decision of the Dominion Government with great satisfaction.
