§ MR. CATHCART WASON (Orkney and Shetland)I beg to ask the Secretary of State for the Colonies if he will say when the inquiry into alleged cases of injustice and maladministration in the Gilbert Islands was held; by whom it was held; and if he will lay a Report of 1295 the proceedings on the Table of the House.
MR. LYTTLETONI can only refer the hon. Member to the answer given to his previous Question of the 14th February, 1902. I see no reason for laying the Report of the proceedings on the Table of the House, but the hon. Member is at liberty to see it if he wishes.
§ MR. CATHCART WASONHas there been any inquiry?
§ MR. LYTTELTONYes.
