§ MR. JOHN ELLISTo ask the Secretary of State for the Colonies what is the present estimated white population of Buluwayo, Salisbury, and the districts of Rhodesia outside those towns, respectively.
(Answered by Mr. Secretary Chamberlain.) The results of an informal census taken 31st May, 1901, gave the white population of Buluwayo as 4,694; of Salisbury, 1,395; of the rest of Southern Rhodesia, 4,943. These are the latest figures which I am able to give.
