§ MR. LEIF JONES (Westmoreland, Appleby)I beg to ask the Secretary of State for the Colonies whether, as a result of negotiations between the Chamber of Mines at Johannesburg and the Government, two troops of constabulary are to be stationed in the East and West Rand to assist the authorities in coping with disturbances among the Chinese; and whether the whole or any part of the cost involved in this arrangement will be borne by the mineowners.
§ MR. LYTTELTONI have not received information to this effect.
