HC Deb 07 April 1936 vol 310 cc2636-7W
Mr. WILSON

asked the Secretary of State for Dominion Affairs whether there is published any list of the Dominions showing the date when and the means by which they were acquired; and, if not whether he would consider the publication of such list?

Mr. M. MacDONALD

I would refer the hon. Member to the Dominions Office and Colonial Office List, which is published annually and contains historical information of the nature which he mentions. The list is not an official publication, but is compiled from official records, and may be consulted in the Library of the House.
