§ MR. SEELY (Lincoln)I beg to ask the Secretary of State for the Colonies whether his attention has been called to the fact that the alteration made in Section 11 of the Transvaal Labour Ordinance was intended to enable Chinese labourers to be transferred to an employer without their own consent on payment of a money consideration; and will he state what stops he proposes to take to ensure that the Transvaal Legislative Council shall not be allowed to carry out this intention, and whether he intends to allow the administration of the Ordinance to be entirely in the hands of the Transvaal authorities.
§ *MR. LYTTELTONI would refer my hon. friend to my Answer to the hon. Member for Northampton.
§ MR. SEELYasked if it were not the fact that the sum to be paid had been stated at something over £20?
§ *MR. LYTTELTONreferred the hon. Member to the Blue-book, and repeated that he had satisfactory assurances from Lord Milner on the subject.
