HC Deb 09 May 1901 vol 93 c1137
MR. ALFRED DAVIES (Carmarthen Boroughs)

I beg to ask the Secretary of State for the Colonies if he will state whether the British Government is prepared to entertain certain claims of those Boers who have suffered loss owing to the Jameson raid, and who have received no compensation; and, if not, will he state to whom the claims should be sent.

MR. J. CHAMBERLAIN

I am not aware of any cases of the kind referred to.

MR. ALFRED DAVIES

Is the right hon. Gentleman prepared to receive particulars of the cases, because, if so, I will send in something for him?

MR. J. CHAMBERLAIN

If there are any cases of the kind referred to—that is to say, cases of loss for which no compensation has been received—they should be sent in the first instance to the present Transvaal Government.

MR. SWIFT MACNEILL

To be sent in to Mr. Rhodes, I suppose?

MR. O'MARA (Kilkenny, S.)

Who are the present Transvaal Government?
