§ *MR. REESI beg to ask the Under-Secretary of State for the Colonies why, if England, Scotland, and Ireland are to be represented in the arms of the Commonwealth, Wales, from which the Mother Colony of Australia takes its name, is to be omitted.
§ COLONEL SEELYThe arms were granted by His Majesty by Royal Warrant at the request of the Commonwealth Government; and I fear I cannot add anything to the Answer which I gave to a similar Question by the hon. Member for Govan last Tuesday.
§ *MR. REESWhat is the reason for having overlooked this important point? Have the records of the Colonial Office disclosed anything to the discredit of St. David?
§ COLONEL SEELYI am afraid I must have notice of that Question.
