§ MR. CLAUDE LOWTHER (Cumberland, Eskdale)To ask the Secretary of State for the Colonies, whether His Majesty's Government have settled upon any specific sum as the amount of the indebtedness of the Transvaal and Orange River Colonies.
(Answered by Mr. Secretary Chamberlain.) I presume that the hon. Member refers to the contribution in aid of the cost of the war. If so, the answer is that no specific amount has yet been fixed by His Majesty's Government.
