HC Deb 19 November 1912 vol 44 c105
39. Sir J. D. REES

asked whether it is proposed to allow New Zealand, or any other Colony or British possession, representation on the Committee of Imperial Defence?

The PRIME MINISTER

I must refer the hon. Member to the reply which I gave on this subject to the hon. Member for Christchurch on 31st October last. Perhaps I may remind the hon. Member what that reply was: The matter is still the subject of confidential communication between the Home and the Dominion Governments.

Mr. WATT

Will it not be one of the effects of Federal Home Rule that the British Dominions will be represented in this House?

The PRIME MINISTER

We shall see.
