To ask the Under-Secretary of State for the Colonies what are the precedents for guaranteeing loans to Colonies having full responsible government; and under what circumstances were each of these loans guaranteed.

This loan was, to the extent of £1,100,00, in lieu of a guaranteed loan of that amount which had been authorised in 1870 (33 and 34 Vic., cap. 82) for the construction of fortifications, but was not raised.
