HC Deb 01 August 1906 vol 162 c1045
MR. FETHERSTONHAUGH (Fermanagh, N.)

I beg to ask the Undersecretary of State for the Colonies whether he is yet in a position to state whether the republication of the Repatriation Ordinance has been any more successful than the original publication in inducing the Chinese coolies in the Transvaal to realise that they wish to be sent back to China; what was the date of the republication; and has the Government no information, by telegram or otherwise, as to the number of coolies who have since required to be repatriated.

MR. CHURCHILL

The new notice was posted in the compounds on July 18th. No information has yet been received as to the number of applications made.
