HC Deb 23 February 1905 vol 141 c1093
MR. SHACKLETON

On behalf of the hon. Member for Derby, I beg to ask the Secretary of State for the Colonies whether the Rose Deep Mine in the Transvaal is now employing 1,340 Chinese coolies; and whether the unskilled white labourers working there in August last have been discharged.

MR. LYTTELTON

I have not the information which would enable me to answer this Question, but I will inquire as to the facts.

MR. BAYLEY (Derbyshire, Chesterfield)

Will the right hon. Gentleman cable for it?

MR. LYTTELTON

No, Sir.
