HC Deb 22 July 1907 vol 178 cc1173-4
MR. FELL

I beg to ask the President of the Board of Trade what progress has been made with the negotiation for the establishment of a fast all-British mail service to Australia and New Zealand.

MR. LLOYD-GEORGE.

The matter is still under consideration, and I am not in a position to make any announcement at present.

MR. CLAUDE HAY (Shoreditch, Hoxton)

Can the right hon. Gentleman give any idea when the result will be made known.

MR. LLOYD-GEORGE

I cannot say at present.
