§ CAPTAIN ELLICE (St. Andrews Burghs)I beg to ask the Secretary of State for the Colonies whether the Chinese labourers now employed in the South African mines will come under the provisions of the Transvaal Liquor Licensing Ordinance; and, if not, what arrangements have been made with regard to the sale of intoxicants to these labourers.
§ MR. LYTTELTONThese labourers will, I am informed, come under the provisions of the existing liquor law which prohibits the sale or free issue of any intoxicating liquor to coloured persons including Chinese.
