HC Deb 15 March 1904 vol 131 c1132
MAJOR SEELY

I beg to ask the Secretary of State for the Colonies if he can now state what reasons he has for supposing that the majority of the inhabitants of the Transvaal are in favour of the importation of Chinese indentured labour into that colony; and what is the total estimated number of adult male whites in that colony.

*MR. LYTTELTON

Until the figures of the census are obtained it will not be possible to give any estimate on which my hon. and gallant friend can safely rely.
