HC Deb 27 February 1902 vol 103 c1268
MR. LAMBERT (Devonshire, S. Molton)

I beg to ask the Secretary of State for the Colonies whether the necessary legislation to give effect to the banishment provisions of the High Commissioner's proclamation of 7th August last will be initiated in this House or in South Africa; and when such legislation will be initiated.

THE SECRETARY OF STATE FOR THE COLONIES (Mr. J. CHAMBERLAIN, Birmingham, W.)

The question of legislation does not at present arise, and I am not prepared to make any statement on the subject.
