HC Deb 25 July 1904 vol 138 c1042
THE MASTER or ELIBANK (Edinburgh, Midlothian)

I beg to ask the Secretary of State for the Colonies if he is in a position to make any statement regarding the attitude of the Portuguese Government in relation to the Netherlands Pier and adjoining land at Loreneco Marques, Delagoa Bay, a valuable asset of the late Transvaal Government.

MR. LYTTELTON

I hardly think it is necessary for me to say more than that I have every reason to believe that the interests of the Transvaal Government will be fully safeguarded.
