HC Deb 24 June 1903 vol 124 cc398-9
MR. BLACK

I beg to ask the First Lord of the Treasury whether the Government have invited or contemplate to invite the Colonial Cabinets and Crown Colony and Dependency Legislative Councils to undertake an inquiry into the effect of the Colonial Secretary's proposals as to our fiscal system on the same lines as is now being conducted by the Imperial Cabinet?

MR. A. J. BALFOUR

I think this question is premature.

MR. BLACK

Is it not the scheme of the Colonial Secretary that is premature?
