HC Deb 23 April 1929 vol 227 cc709-10
34. Mr. T. WILLIAMS

asked the Secretary of State for the Colonies whether he has any information in regard to recent happenings in the Maltese Parliament; and, if so, will he convey the same to this House?

Captain WALLACE (Lord of the Treasury)

I have been asked to answer this question The hon. Member will, I think, realise that such matters fall outside the province of this House.

Mr. WILLIAMS

Is the hon. and gallant Member aware of the recent imprisonment of the ex-Chancellor of the Maltese Parliament, and can he make any statement on that subject?

Captain WALLACE

I am afraid that I cannot make a statement on that question, but perhaps the hon. Gentleman will put another question on that specific point.
