§ MR. HARMSWORTH (Caithnesshire)To ask the Secretary of State for the Colonies if he can state whether any representatives from the two new colonies are to be invited to the Coronation of 1270 His Majesty; and, if so, if he can give the names of such representatives, and whether any of the Boer leaders will be included in the invitation.
(Answer.) It is not proposed to take any steps as regards the representation of the new Colonies at the Coronation. Representatives from those Colonies could hardly reach this country in time for the Coronation.—(Colonial Office.)
