§ MR. LAMBERT (Devonshire, South Molton)I beg to ask the Secretary of State for the Colonies whether the proposed expenditure of £500,000 on land settlement in South Africa will proceed on the lines laid down in the Report of the Land Settlement Commission; 26 if so, is it proposed to buy land and aid by Government funds men of small capital and little or no experience of farming to settle as farmers in South Africa.
§ MR. J. CHAMBERLAINAs I have already indicated, I am not prepared to make any further statement on the subject at present, but Lord Milner will report fully on the matter as soon as possible after his arrival.
§ MR. LAMBERTWill the scheme come before the House before any money is expended?
§ MR. J. CHAMBERLAINNo, Sir. A Vote has been taken.
