HC Deb 09 June 1902 vol 109 c88
MR. CHANNING (Northamptonshire, E.)

I beg to ask the Secretary of State for the Colonies whether he will state the effect of the terms of surrender agreed upon with the Boer representatives on the sales of land belonging to burghers, to make good the charges for their families in the concentration camps.

MR. J. CHAMBERLAIN

I have no information beyond that contained in telegram No. 24 in C. 1096.

MR. CHANNING

But are the sales to be proceeded with or not?

MR. J. CHAMBERLAIN

I do not like to give a positive answer, but I think no fresh sales will take place.
