HC Deb 02 November 1916 vol 86 cc1810-1
24. Mr. C. WASON

asked the Secretary, for the Colonies if he is aware that the proposal to allow neutrals to bid for German properties in West Africa is fraught with danger and is viewed with dissatisfaction by those best qualified to judge; and if he would hold the sale over in the meantime?

Mr. BONAR LAW

The subject has been very fully considered, and I am not prepared to direct that the sale should be postponed.

Mr. WASON

asked a question which was inaudible in the Reporters' Gallery.

Mr. BONAR LAW

That is not my view. Arrangements will be made for a discussion on the subject next week.
