§ MR. H. O. ARNOLD-FORSTER (Belfast, W.)I beg to ask the Under Secretary of State for the Colonies whether he will lay upon the Table of the House all correspondence respecting the recent arbitration in the Transvaal as to the rights of British-Indians, and of British subjects generally; whether Her Majesty's Government was a party to the submission of the rights of British subjects to arbitration; and if he can state what is the nature of the sanitary regulations for the infraction of which British subjects in the Transvaal have been punished?
§ MR. SYDNEY BUXTONThe question at issue, namely, the rights and position of British-Indian subjects in the South African Republic, is too complicated to enable me to explain it within the limits of an ordinary answer, and I will therefore lay Papers referring to the question.
