HC Deb 10 February 1902 vol 102 cc839-40
MR. C. P. SCOTT

I beg to ask the Secretary of State for War if he can state the number of Kaffirs and coloured persons at present employed in the military operations in South Africa in connection with the Imperial and Colonial forces respectively and the services on which they are employed.

MR. BRODRICK

As I have told the House on several occasions, it is not possible to keep any record of such employments, which are mainly local in their character.
