HC Deb 04 May 1899 vol 70 c1320
MR. BRYN ROBERTS (Carnarvonshire, Eifion)

I beg to ask the First Lord of the Treasury whether, in view of the fact that the South African Republic is an independent State, save only the right of Great Britain to veto any treaty negotiated between the Republic and a Foreign Power, the Prime Minister will direct that diplomatic communications with President Kruger shall be carried on henceforth through the Foreign Office?

THE FIRST LORD OF THE TREASURY

The answer to this Question is in the negative.
