§ Major SEELY (Isle of Wight)I beg to ask the Secretary of State for the Colonies if he can now state what is the total estimated adult male white population of the Transvaal and Orange River Colonies.
§ MR. LYTTELTONThe results of the census which was taken on 17th April have not yet been communicated to me and can hardly as yet be available, but I have asked that I may have them at an early date.
§ Major SEELYWhen may we expect to have them?
§ MR. LYTTELTONThe census was only taken on 17th April and the figures are not yet tabulated.
§ Major SEELYIt is very important we should have the figures as soon as possible. Perhaps the right hon. Gentleman can obtain some estimate?
§ MR. LYTTELTONI will consider that.
