HC Deb 06 March 1902 vol 104 c586
MR. DAVID THOMAS (Merthyr Tydvil)

I beg to ask the Secretary of State for the Colonies whether the suggestion he recently made to a deputation from the Principality which waited upon him in respect to the emigration of Welsh settlers from Patagonia that they might go to a warmer climate rather than to that of Canada, was intended to be limited to South Africa.

MR. J. CHAMBERLAIN

I confess that I find some difficulty in understanding this Question. It appears to me to be an attempt at a joke. If so, it is a very bad joke, and I decline to answer it.
