HC Deb 18 June 1906 vol 158 c1362
MR. MOND

I beg to ask the Under-secretary of State for the Colonies whether he can state what is the number of Chinese coolies now imprisoned in the Transvaal.

MR. CHURCHILL

I am not able to give the total number, but inquiry will be made at once by telegraph.

MR. ASHLEY

Has any one ever heard of imprisoned coolies attending race meetings as the Chinese do in South Africa?

MR. CHURCHILL

The Question obviously refers to coolies actually undergoing imprisonment.
