§ CAPTAIN DONELAN (Cork, E.)To ask the Secretary of State for the Colonies whether His Majesty's Government purpose making any representations to the Government of West Australia with reference to the treatment of aborigines in that country, as disclosed by the report of Dr. Roth, the Commissioner appointed to investigate this question.
(Answered by Mr. Secretary Lyttelton.) I have not yet seen the report by Dr. Roth to which the hon. Member refers, but I have asked the Governor of Western Australia for a copy. I understand that it is probable that legislation will shortly be introduced in the colony dealing with the matters to which Dr. Roth calls attention.
