HC Deb 19 May 1899 vol 71 c1025
SIR MANCHERJEE BHOWNAGGREE (Bethnal Green, N.E.)

I beg to ask the Secretary of State for the Colonies whether in the forthcoming conference between Sir A. Milner and President Kruger, the British Representative will discuss questions relating to the grave disabilities imposed upon British Indian subjects by the South African Government for some years past, with the view of remedying the same; and, whether Sir A. has been furnished by the Colonial Office with specific instructions on the subject.

MR. J. CHAMBERLAIN

I have recently instructed Sir A. Milner on the subject of the British Indians in the Transvaal, and the matter will no doubt he discussed by him and President Kruger.
