MR. BRYN ROBERTS (Carnarvonshire, Eifion)To ask the Secretary of State for the Colonies whether, seeing that the output of coal from the Transvaal coal mines since the war exceeds by nearly 50 per cent. the output in 1898, he can state whether the increased Kaffir labour in these mines has been obtained by any increase in the wages offered by the coal-owners to the Kaffir workmen.
(Answered by Mr. Secretary Chamberlain.) I have no information on the subject.
