HC Deb 28 May 1903 vol 123 c117
MR. WILLIAM REDMOND

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 despatch 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 SECRETARY OF STATE FOR THE COLONIES (Mr. J. CHAMBERLAIN,) Birmingham, W.

I have no information. There has not yet been time to receive a reply to my despatch of the 15th of April included in the Papers recently published.

MR. WILLIAM REDMOND

This day fortnight.

MR. J. CHAMBERLAIN

We have to await a reply by mail.

MR. WILLIAM REDMOND

Then this day month.
