§ MR. BLACK (Banffshire)I beg to ask the Secretary of State for the Colonies in view of the fact that production of 932 gold in the Transvaal has now recommenced, whether any, and, if so, what steps will be taken to levy taxation on the gold thus produced, and what proportion this taxation will bear to the value of the gold produced.
§ MR. J. CHAMBERLAINThe mines will, as I understand, be subject to the former taxation of the Transvaal until fresh arrangements are made.
