§ MR. ALFRED DAVIES (Carmarthen Boroughs)I beg to ask the Secretary of State for the Colonies if he has received, or has the prospect of receiving, a claim from the Chartered Company of South Africa for expenses incurred in connection with the defence of a part of the border of the Transvaal; and, if so, what action he intends to take.
§ THE SECRETARY OF STATE FOR THE COLONIES (Mr. J. CHAMBERLAIN, Birmingham, W.)I have not received, and I do not look forward to receiving, any such claim.
