§ MR. C.B. HARMSWORTH (Worcestershire, Droitwich)I beg to ask the Under-Secretary of State for the Colonies whether he is in possession of the text of the Bill dealing with the licensing of Indian traders that is now before the Legislative Assembly of Natal; and, if so, whether he will cause copies of the Bill to be circulated to Members of this House.
§ COLONEL SEELYThe Governor forwarded a copy of this Bill to the Secretary of State in May, and correspondence on the subject has been proceeding since. I do not think that it is desirable to lay the Bill by itself until the correspondence is complete, but I shall be glad to furnish a copy to my lion, friend if he desires it.
SIR GILBERT PARKERWill the hon. Gentleman consider the desirability of laying a copy in the Library to which Members may have access?
§ COLONEL SEELYIf it is the general desire I will do so.
