§ 43. Lieut.-Commander KENWORTHYasked the Secretary of State for the Colonies whether he will lay upon the Table a map showing the territorial changes proposed in the Straits Settlements and Johore Territorial Waters Bill?
§ The SECRETARY of STATE for the COLONIES (Mr. Amery)I think it will meet the convenience of hon. Members if a copy of the map asked for is placed in the Library.
§ Lieut. - Commander KENWORTHYHow can one map be sufficient to understand the right hon. Gentleman's explanation in this House when the Bill comes before us?
§ Mr. AMERYI should hardly have thought that the Bill was of such a character as to raise difficulties which would specially need a map.
§ Lieut. - Commander KENWORTHYIs the right hon. Gentleman not aware that we have had maps issued with Peace Treaties and other Bills of that nature showing territorial changes, and surely it is not treating this House with respect that the right hon. Gentleman should try to explain a Bill of this kind without some map being placed before hon. Members?
§ Colonel HOWARD-BURYIs there not some need for economy?
§ Lieut. - Commander KENWORTHYIs that why we are giving away part of the British Empire?
