§ Mr. DILLONI beg to ask the Secretary of State for the Colonies whether he can now state how many Uitlanders from 561 the South African Republic are serving with the British forces in South Africa, and in what regiments they are enrolled; and how many citizens of Natal and of Cape Colony respectively are serving with British forces.
§ THE UNDER SECRETARY OF STATE FOR WAR (Mr. WYNDHAM,) DoverI have not the information necessary in order to discriminate between Uitlanders and others serving in colonial forces raised in South Africa.
§ MR. DILLONWill the hon. Gentleman undertake to inquire? I understood the Colonial Secretary to promise to get the information.
§ MR. WYNDHAMI am afraid it will be quite impossible to get the information, probably until after the war. A great number of these forces are serving in different parts of South Africa, and we cannot undertake to ask for an elaborate return from the officers commanding the troops in the field.
