§ MR. LONSDALE (Armagh, Mid)I beg to ask the Secretary of State for the Colonies whether he has received a request for further financial assistance to the burghers of the Transvaal and Orange River Colony in addition to the sum already voted by Parliament; and whether he proposes to confer with the Boer generals on the subject.
§ THE SECRETARY OF STATE FOR THE COLONIES (Mr. J. CHAMBERLAIN, Birmingham, W.)I have no expectation of any further interview before I leave for South Africa. The views of the generals and my reply will be found in Cd. 1284.
