HC Deb 10 August 1905 vol 151 c963
MAJOR SEELY

I beg to ask the First Lord of the Treasury whether the Colonial Conference to be held next year will be free to discuss the policy of the introduction of Chinese indentured labour into the Transvaal Colony, and the question of Asiatic immigration generally.

THE PRIME MINISTER AND FIRST LORD OF THE TREASURY (Mr. A. J. BALFOUR,) Manchester, E.

As I have on several occasions stated to the House, the conference will be a free conference.

MAJOR SEELY

Then it will be entitled to discuss that subject?

MR. A. J. BALFOUR

Certainly. That seems to me to be the direct corollary of freedom.

MR. WHITLEY

Will they publish their views?

[No Answer was returned.]
