HC Deb 10 December 1906 vol 166 cc1554-5
* MR. REES

I beg to ask the Undersecretary of State for the Colonies whether the Colonial Office will consider the policy of offering land grants in the British Central Africa Protectorate to British Indians in the Transvaal who may be willing to emigrate thence.

MR. CHURCHILL

There is very little land at the disposal of the Government in the British Central Africa Protectorate. It is open to British Indians who emigrate to the Protectorate to acquire land under the regulations in force. But the information at the disposal of the Secretary of State does not lead him to suppose that it is at present necessary to offer special terms to such immigrants.
