§ SIR E. ASHMEAD-BARTLETTI beg to ask the Secretary of State for the Colonies, to whom I have given private notice of the question, whether Her Majesty's Government intend to take any action in connection with the closing of waggon treks on the Vaal River by the Boers?
§ MR. JOSEPH CHAMBERLAINThe intimation of the hon. Gentleman only reached me as I entered the House. I am afraid I must ask for notice of the question.
