§ MR. HICKS BEACHI beg to ask the Under-Secretary of. State for the Colonies when the reform of the Constitution of Malta, as foreshadowed in the speech of the President of the Board of Trade to the elected members of the island last year, is to be carried into effect; and whether there are any Papers relating to the proposed reform that could be laid upon the Table of the House.
§ COLONEL SEELYI would refer the hon. Member to the reply which I gave to the Member for Jarrow yesterday. There are no Papers relating to this matter which could be usefully laid at the present juncture upon the Table of the House.
