§ COLONEL LEGGE (St. Georgo's,) Hanover SquareI beg to ask the Secretary of State for India if the demands of British Indian subjects in South Africa are to be made the subject of further representation to the self-governing Colonies involved.
§ MR. CHURCHILL (for Mr. MORLEY)His Majesty's Government will keep constantly in view the interests of British Indians in the self-governing colonies of South Africa, and will neglect no opportunity of endeavouring to secure them a satisfactory status which the course of events may suggest. No further representations arc, however, at present in contemplation.
§ MR. COURTHOPEI beg to ask the Secretary of State for India what representations have been made with regard to the future of British Indian subjects in the Transvaal and Orange River Colonies.
§ MR. CHURCHILL (for Mr. MORLEY)No fresh representations have been made recently. The policy of the late Government was set forth in Mr. Lyttelton's despatch of 20th July, 1904, printed in Cd. 2239. His Majesty's Government are considering the subject in view of the early grant of responsible government in the two Colonies.
