HC Deb 04 June 1930 vol 239 cc2136-7
23. Mr. McSHANE

asked the Under-Secretary of State for the Colonies whether, as a result of the promised reconsideration, he is now in a position to make a statement in regard to the McMahon correspondence?

The UNDER-SECRETARY of STATE for DOMINION AFFAIRS (Mr. Lunn)

I have been asked to reply to this question. No, Sir; it is not yet possible to make any statement.

Mr. McSHANE

Can the hon. Member give us an idea when he will be in a position to make a statement?

Mr. LUNN

I can only refer the hon. Member to the answer given by the Under-Secretary of State for the Colonies in which he said that the matter was under examination, and I suppose that as soon as it is concluded a statement will be made.

Mr. C. WILLIAMS

Will this correspondence be ready after the Whitsuntide Recess?

Mr. LUNN

If a question is put down after the Whitsun Recess, a definite answer can be given.
