On the Report of the Vote to complete the sum of £157,719 for salaries and expenses of the Colonial Office,
Mr. M. MacDonald, Secretary of State for the Coloñieš (Baa- setlaw, NatLab.), said that he felt like asking for the fndulgen- ce which the House was accustomed to grant to a maiden speech, it having been only a few weeks since he had been fortunate enough to be appointed to what many people would consider was one of the most interesting Departments of the Govern ment.
