Considered in Committee, and reported, without Amendment.
On Motion that the Bill be read 3°,
DR. CLARK
asked whether under this Bill Cape Colony and Natal would be able to extend their borders without reference to that House.
THE SECRETARY OF STATE FOR THE COLONIES
(Mr. J. CHAMBERLAIN, Birmingham, W.)
replied in the negative. The Bill was brought in by the late Government. It was intended to remove doubts, but not more than doubts, as to annexations which had taken place. Such doubts had arisen, and the Bill would remove them.
Bill read 3°, and passed, without Amendment.
