HC Deb 25 June 1903 vol 124 cc551-2
MR. WILLIAM REDMOND (Clare, E.)

I beg to ask the Secretary of State for the Colonies whether the South Australian Government have agreed to the view stated in his recent dispatch, that on matters relating to foreign Governments His Majesty's Government should deal with the Government of the Commonwealth, and not with the State Governments.

THE POSTMASTER-GENERAL (Mr. AUSTEN CHAMBERLAIN,. for Mr. J. CHAMBERLAIN) Worcestershire, E.

I beg to read my hon. friend's answer as follows— I have not yet received any further communication from the Government of South Australia on this subject.

MR. WILLIAM REDMOND

I will put the Question down again this day fortnight.
