HC Deb 25 June 1918 vol 107 cc886-7
42. Mr. DIXON

asked the Secretary of State for the Colonies if he will submit to the Prime Ministers of Australia and New Zealand for their consideration the suggestion that the name of the new capital of Australia shall be changed from Canberra to Ansac, as an everlasting memorial to the heroism of the Australian and New Zealand forces?

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

No, Sir.

Sir C. KINLOCH-COOKE

Is the hon. Gentleman aware that the matter has nothing whatever to do with New Zealand?
