§ SIR JOHN ROLLESTON (Leicester)I beg to ask the Secretary of State for the Colonies whether, in view of the termination of the war in South Africa, and of the establishment of settled government in the Transvaal and Orange River Colonies, it is intended that the manufacturers of foreign countries shall have equal opportunities for trade with those of the United Kingdom.
§ THE SECRETARY OF STATE FOR THE COLONIES (Mr. J. CHAMBERLAIN, Birmingham, W.)The consideration of the customs tariffs has not yet been taken in hand, but it is not the intention of His Majesty's Government to adopt any system of protective discrimination against foreign goods.
