HC Deb 17 December 1908 vol 198 c2122
MR. BOLAND (Kerry, S.)

I beg to ask the Under-Secretary of State for the Colonies whether his attention has been called to the local demand made in Mauritius for a commission of inquiry into the financial position of the Colony; and what action he proposes to take in the matter.

COLONEL SEELY

The matter has formed the subject of correspondence with the Mauritius Government. The unofficial Members of the Legislature rejected a proposal for a Commission which was put before them by Lord Elgin's directions, and I am not aware that they have at present changed their attitude with regard to it.
