§ DR. MACNAMARA (Camberwell, N.)I beg to ask the Secretary of State for the Colonies whether a successor to Mr. Wybergh has been appointed as Commis- 772 sioner of Mines in the Transvaal; and, if not, will he explain why.
§ MR. LYTTELTONNo appointment has been made as yet, as I understand Lord Milner has experienced much difficulty in making a selection for this important appointment.
