Communication between Prime Minister and Mr. Kruger during the War.

HC Deb 18 June 1902 vol 109 c962 962

§ MR. MARKHAM
I beg to ask the Under Secretary of State for Foreign Affairs whether the Prime Minister, during the war, received any cables from Mr. Kruger which have not yet been laid upon the Table of the House.

§ THE UNDER SECRETARY OF STATE FOR FOREIGN AFFAIRS (Lord CRANBORNE,) Rochester
The Foreign Office have nothing to do with the Transvaal, and the question should have been addressed to the Colonial Office. I am afraid the necessary communications have not taken place between the two Departments, and perhaps the hon. Gentleman will be good enough to postpone the Question.
