§ SIR ERNEST FLOWER (Bradford, W.)I beg to ask the Under-Secretary of State for Foreign Affairs whether any reply has been received to the representations made to the Government of the Netherlands respecting the wrongs inflicted by the Dutch Colonial authorities upon a British subject, Mr. John Godden.
§ EARL PERCYSir, I regret that we have not yet received a reply, but the Government of the Netherlands have assured us that the question is receiving their careful consideration.
§ SIR ERNEST FLOWERDoes the noble Lord expect a reply at an early date?
§ EARL PERCYI hope so, but our last representation to the Netherlands Government was only addressed to it a fortnight ago.
