HC Deb 18 March 1901 vol 91 c219
MR. THOMAS DEWAR (Tower Hamlets, St. George's)

I beg to ask the Secretary of State for the Colonies whether the Government has yet considered how far it will assist the passages of wives and families of Yeomen who care to settle in our new colonies in South Africa at the expiration of their term of enlistment; and, if so, can he make any communication to the House on this matter.

THE SECRETARY OF STATE FOR THE COLONIES (Mr. J. CHAMBERLAIN, Birmingham, W.)

I am not yet in a position to make any statement upon the matter.
