§ MR. BLACK (Banffshire)I beg to ask the Secretary of State for the Colonies whether the agreement by the Transvaal to contribute £30,000,000 towards the cost of the war formed the subject of a despatch from Lord Milner before the Colonial Secretary's journey to South Africa; and whether he will now lay upon the Table of the House all the Correspondence had by the Colonial Office with responsible persons in South Africa on this subject.
§ MR. J. CHAMBERLAINThe answer to the first part of the hon. Member's Question is in the negative. The question of laying Papers relating to the war contribution is under consideration.
§ MR. J. CHAMBERLAINNo, Sir.
