HC Deb 03 June 1909 vol 5 cc1547-8W
Mr. WILLIAM REDMOND

asked the Tinder-Secretary of State for the Colonies if he will state when the Bill for the union of South Africa is to be introduced into the House?

Colonel SEELY

From the statement which I made in the House in the Debate on the Adjournment for the Whitsuntide Recess, my hon. Friend is now aware that at present it is proposed to bring in the Bill in another place. In that event if the delegation from South Africa should arrive in the middle of July it cannot be anticipated that the Bill will be introduced into the House of Commons before the end of July or the beginning of August at the earliest.
