Mr. MALONE:
26.asked the Secretary of State for the Colonies whether, in view of the misapprehensions concerning the Rutenberg scheme, especially in regard to the provisions for irrigation and agriculture, he will publish a summary thereof?

Copies of the agreements concluded with Mr. Rutenberg were placed some time ago in the Library of the House, where they are open to inspection by hon. Members. I do not think that there would be any advantage in adopting the hon. Member's suggestion.
Secretary of State was originally the title given to the two officials who conducted the Royal Correspondence under Elizabeth I. Now it is the title held by some of the more important Government Ministers, for example the Secretary of State for Foreign Affairs.
