HC Deb 17 April 1918 vol 105 cc381-2
15. Mr. KING

asked the Secretary of State for the Colonies whether he is aware of the feeling against the creation of hereditary titles in British self-governing Dominions; whether he has considered the announcements and speeches made in the Canadian House of Commons on 8th April; and what action he proposes to take?

The UNDER-SECRETARY for the COLONIES (Mr. Hewins)

I would refer the hon. Member to my reply yesterday to a similar question by the hon. Member for West Clare.

Mr. KING

Have definite communications passed between the Canadian Government and the Colonial Office on this subject?

Mr. HEWINS

If the hon. Member will refer to my answer, he will see that his supplementary question is already replied to.
