§ MR. BLACKI beg to ask the Secretary of State for the Colonies whether Boer leaders domiciled in the territory transferred to Natal will be permanently banished from South Africa, in terms of the proclamation of 15th September, if they now return to their farms; and are either the Imperial or the Colonial Government to make any payment to owners of farms in that territory to enable them to rebuild their houses and re-stock their farms.
§ THE SECRETARY OF STATE FOR THE COLONIES (Mr. J. CHAMBERLAIN,) Birmingham, W.The assumption on which the hon. Member's Questions are based is incorrect. No territory has yet been transferred to Natal, and the questions raised have not been considered.
