§ SIR BRAMPTON GURDON (Norfolk, N.)To ask the Under Secretary of State for Foreign Affairs whether the Foreign Office has received any intelligence as to death and sickness at Johannesburg among the natives imported from British Central Africa; and, if so, will steps be taken to prevent the further employment in the mines of labour from the same source.
(Answered by Lord Cranborne.) No intelligence has been received from official sources at the Foreign Office or Colonial Office, but inquiry will lie made by telegraph.
