§ MR. DAVID THOMAS (Merthyr Tydfil)I beg to ask the First Lord of the Treasury when His Majesty's Government propose to continue the inquiry into the administration of the British South Africa Company and the alterations desirable in the Government of the territories under the control of the Company, which was remitted to a Select Committee of this House in 1896, but as to which the Committee through want of time failed to report.
§ MR. A. J. BALFOURWe do not propose to continue the inquiry the hon. Gentleman refers to. As he well knows, there have been changes made in the administration of the Jritish South Africa Company consequent upon the inquiry which has been already held.
