MR. CROPPER

asked the Under Secretary of State for the Colonies, Whether the Royal Commission in the Transvaal will be directed to inquire into the operation of the Law which prohibits Natives from holding land, and, at the same time, to consider the expediency of securing in this matter equality between the two races?

MR. GRANT DUFF

Sir, the attention of the Royal Commission will be called to this important matter.
