§ MR. ROSE (Cambridgeshire, Newmarket)I beg to ask the Secretary of State for the Colonies whether the system of purchases of supplies for the Transvaal through the Crown Agents of the Colonies includes requirements for such works as tramways, electric lighting, and roads for the municipalities of Pretoria and Johannesburg, or only requirements for Government Departments.
§ THE SECRETARY OF STATE FOR THE COLONIES (Mr. LYTTELTON,) Warwick and LeamingtonThe system applies only to requirements for Government Departments and not to those for the municipalities.
