HC Deb 23 October 1902 vol 113 c608
MR. THOMAS BAYLEY (Derbyshire, Chesterfield)

I beg to ask the Secretary of State for the Colonies if he will say how much of the three million pounds granted for the rebuilding and restocking of the Boer farms at the signing of the terms of peace has been spent up to the present time on the purposes for which it was granted.

MR. J. CHAMBERLAIN

I am not in a position to say the exact amount, but I have asked Lord Milner to supply a rough estimate, as far as he can do so.

MR. PIRIE

Is the fund being used to pay the expenses of sending the Boer prisoners back to South Africa?

MR. J. CHAMBERLAIN

I must ask for notice.
