HC Deb 24 March 1902 vol 105 c818
MR. ALFRED DAVIES (Carmarthen Boroughs)

I beg to ask the Secretary of State for the Colonies if he will state the present cost of the concentration camps in South Africa, and what financial help is given to the loyalists in South Africa who are in pecuniary straits owing to the war.

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

With regard to the first part of the Question I would refer the hon. Member to the figures given in the Parliamentary Paper Cd. 936, p. 5, p. 21, and p. 25, and following. With regard to the latter, a sum of £500,000 was voted in the grant in aid for 1901–2 for relief and resettlement, and Lord Milner is drawing on that money to provide for the relief of loyalists in distress.
