§ DR. MACNAMARAI beg to ask the Secretary of State for the Colonies whether any correspondence has passed between Lord Milner and himself relative to the question of conferring self-government upon the Transvaal Colony; if so, whether he can say when he will be in a position to lay such correspondence; and whether any operative step will be taken before Parliament has an opportunity of discussing the matter.
§ MR. LYTTELTONI hope to be able in the course of the discussion of the Colonial Vote to-day to make a statement with regard to this matter, so that the hon. Member will excuse me for not saying more at present.
