HC Deb 08 November 1906 vol 164 cc725-6
MR. VERNEY (Buckinghamshire, N.)

To ask the Prime Minister whether the Government will reconsider the suggestion made last session of buying out any vested interests in the Chinese labour traffic and bringing it to an end at once in the interests of public policy and of public morality.

(Answered by Sir II. Campbell-Banner- man.) I regret that I am not able to adopt the suggestion of the hon. Member, which would not be in accordance with the policy of His Majesty's Government, as frequently explained to the House.
