§ MR. SLOAN (Belfast, S.)I beg to ask the Under-Secretary of State for the Colonies if he can state when the negotiations between his Department and the Governor of Malta in reference to the 455 removal of certain restrictions imposed upon Protestants will be complete; and will the whole correspondence be laid upon the Table of the House.
§ *MR. CHURCHILLI have to refer the hon. Member to the reply which I gave on Saturday to a similar Question by the Member for North Down.†
§ †See col. 212
§ MR. SLOANThis is the Question I was advised by the Speaker to give notice of. Cannot the hon. Gentleman give the House some approximate idea when the correspondence will be completed and laid?
§ *MR. CHURCHILLI daresay it will be laid before we meet in the Autumn. It will certainly be completed before the House re-assembles, and as soon as it is completed the Secretary of State will consider and decide what part, if any, of it shall be laid.
