MR. BRYN ROBERTS (Carnarvonshire, Eifion)I beg to ask the Secretary of State for the Colonies whether the British South Africa Company has revoked the power of attorney with plenary powers given to Mr. Cecil Rhodes by the Company to manage its affairs in South Africa, and for that purpose to do all such acts as he may in his absolute discretion deem expedient; and, if not, whether he will communicate with the Company on the subject?
§ THE SECRETARY OF STATE FOR THE COLONIES (Mr. J. CHAMBERLAIN,) Birmingham, W.I understand that the directors of the British South Africa Company have the subject under consideration, and I expect to hear from them shortly about it.
