§ MR. BRIDGEMAN (Shropshire, Oswestry)I beg to ask the Under-Secretary of State for the Colonies when it is expected that the elections in the Transvaal will take place.
§ MR. CHURCHILLThe elections in the Transvaal cannot conveniently take place until the form of Constitution, the basis of the franchise and other fundamental questions have been determined, and the Secretary of State is not yet in a position to name a date.
