Sir GILBERT PARKERasked the Prime Minister whether the land at the North Pole is considered to belong to the Dominion of Canada; and, if so, providing it is established that Dr. Cook has reached the North Pole and has planted there the American flag, whether that act would, in any way, give the United States any right of possession over that region. [The HON. MEMBER added, I assume the Prime Minister will understand "land at or adjacent to."]
§ The PRIME MINISTERI did not understand that. In answer to the first part of the hon. Member's question I do not understand that there is any land at the North Pole.
§ The PRIME MINISTERPerhaps the hon. Member will put down another question. The second part of the question involves too much hypothetical matter for me to give any definite answer.
§ Mr. REMNANTIn the event of it being found to be British territory, will he include it in the tax on undeveloped land?
