WEIRTo ask the Postmaster General, as representing the Secretary of State for the Colonies, in view of the facts that in the case of loans to the Boers two-thirds of such loans are made in kind, will he consider the expediency of arranging for oxen and mules which are thus handed over to the farmers to be subjected to a veterinary examination before they pass out of the hands of the Government.
(Answered by Mr. Austen Chamberlain, for the Secretary of State for the Colonies.)
