HC Deb 20 June 1906 vol 159 cc195-6
MR. A. E. W. MASON (Coventry)

I beg to ask the Prime Minister whether, in view of the necessity of securing in South Africa wider opportunities for British settlers, he will grant an early day for the further discussion of the Colonial Vote.

SIR H. CAMPBELL-BANNERMAN

There are other grounds besides these mentioned by my hon. friend. We will do our best to find a day, though I fear it cannot be an early day.

* Sir J. DICKSON-POYNDER (Wiltshire, Chippenham)

Cannot the right hon. Gentleman give us a more encouraging assurance that the Government will take action than we have received from the Under-Secretary?

SIR H. CAMPBELL-BANNERMAN

That hardly arises out of the Question on the Paper.
