§ Mr. WEDGWOODasked the Secretary of State for the Colonies, whether his attention had been called to the fact that in the Falkland Islands the public lands were being alienated at the rate of about £8,000 worth every year; and whether this policy had the sanction and support of His Majesty's Government?
Mr. HARCOURTThe figures at my disposal show that the average receipts from the sale of land are nearer £5,000 than £8,000 a year. As regards the policy involved, I would remind my hon. Friend of the answer which was given to him by the Under-Secretary of State for the Colonies on 5th February, 1908.
§ Mr. WEDGWOODIs the policy the same now as it was then?
