HC Deb 28 March 1904 vol 132 c861
MR. BLACK

I beg to ask the First Lord of the Treasury whether the late Colonial Secretary the Member for West Birmingham presented to his colleagues in the Government any pamphlet, memorandum or report embodying his views upon South African questions; if so, whether this writing contained any reference to the question of labour for the mines; and whether, in view of the fact that the expense of the right hon. Gentleman's visit was paid out of National funds, the Government will now publish this writing.

MR. A. J. BALFOUR

I am not quite sure that I understand the purport o* the hon. Gentleman's Question, but I should rather think he is making an inquiry into Cabinet transactions. In that case, I need hardly say, I can give him no answer.
