HC Deb 22 February 1906 vol 152 c501
MR. DALZIEL

I beg to ask the Under-secretary of State for the Colonies whether the Government have taken, or propose to take, any steps for the payment of the £30,000,000 promised by the South African mine-owners towards the expenses of the South African war.

*MR. CHURCHILL

I have to refer the hon. Member to my reply of yesterday to the hon. Member for the Bosworth Division of Leicester.

MR. DALZIEL

I can find in it no reference to the steps it is proposed to take.

*MR. CHURCHILL

I said the Government were considering their policy. I hope to be able to make an announcement shortly.
