HC Deb 17 April 1905 vol 145 c305
Ms. CHARLES ALLEN

I beg to ask the Secretary of State for the Colonies whether a Chinese Consul has been appointed in the Transvaal; if so, what is his name and where does he reside; and, if not, who is looking after the interests of the Chinese coolies at present.

MR. LYTTELTON

A Chinese Consul has been appointed. His name is Liu Yu-Lin. He will reside at Johannesburg. The interests of the Chinese coolies are and will continue to be looked after by the Superintendent of Foreign Labour and his staff as well as by the Chinese Consul when he arrives.

MR. CHARLES ALLEN

When will this gentleman arrive in South Africa?

MR. LYTTELTON

I cannot say.
