HC Deb 07 May 1908 vol 188 c414
* MR. REES

I beg to ask the Under-Secretary of State for Colonies whether he is in a position to communicate to the House the result of the conference of Mr. Mackenzie King with the Colonial Office.

COLONEL SEELY

No Sir. I do not think this is a matter upon which any statement can properly be made at any rate at the present time. Mr. Mackenzie, King, whose presence was cordially welcomed here, had several conferences with the Secretaries of State for India and the Colonies upon matters of interest to Canada and took back with him the information which he desired and which it is hoped will be of material assistance to the Dominion Government.

* MR. REES

Was the account published in Canada of the result of the mission official?

COLONEL SEELY

I have no information whether it was accurate or not.
