§ SIR MARK STEWART (Kirkcudbrightshire)To ask the Secretary of State for the Colonies whether he has any official Report showing that the District Commissioner of Badagry withheld the stipends of the Chiefs of Addo and Pokira because it was believed at first that they had been instrumental in stopping the spirit trade in their towns; and, if so, whether this action of the District Commissioner received the sanction of His Majesty's Government.
(Answered by Mr. Secretary Lyttelton.) No, Sir, but I will inquire.
