§ Sir A. Baillieasked the Secretary of State for the Colonies whether he is aware that the only mail communication between Lagos and Porto Novo was a German motor-barge running weekly through the 6o-mile lagoon parallel with the sea; whether this motor-barge has now ceased running; and whether in that case any mail service has been organised in a French or British launch?
Mr. M. MacDonaldI have no detailed information regarding existing arrangements for a mail service between Lagos and Porto Novo, but am asking the Governor of Nigeria for particulars.
