Transvaal Mines and War Taxation.

HC Deb 04 June 1902 vol 108 c1394

MR. CLAUDE LOWTHER (Cumberland, Eskdale)

I beg to ask the Secretary of State for the Colonies whether Clause 9 of the Agreement as to the terms of surrender precludes the imposition of special taxation upon the mineral property in the Transvaal and Orange River Colonies for the purpose of defraying the expenses of the war.

MR. J. CHAMBERLAIN

The answer is in the negative.
