MR. J. RAMSAY MACDONALD (Leicester)

I beg to ask the Undersecretary of State for the Colonies whether the Bewaarplaatsen is still in possession of the Transvaal State to the same extent as before the war; and whether any mining operations are now being carried on under these reserved areas.

THE UNDER-SECRETARY OF STATE FOR THE COLONIES (Mr. CHURCHILL,) Manchester, N.W.

The Secretary of State has not yet received a reply to his telegraphic inquiry as to the exact position.
