HC Deb 13 December 1900 vol 88 c676
* MR. TAYLOR (Lancashire, Radcliffe)

I beg to ask the Secretary of State for the Colonies if it is the intention of Her Majesty's Government that, during the time before the granting of self-government to the Orange River and Transvaal Colonies, the sale of intoxicating liquors shall be prohibited to coloured South African natives.

MR. J. CHAMBERLAIN

The sale of liquor is already restrained by legislation in the Transvaal and Orange River Colony, which was, I believe, properly enforced in the latter, but not in the former colony. It is the intention of Her Majesty's Government to see that it is effectively administered in both.
