MR. BRYN ROBERTS (Carnarvonshire, Eifion)To ask the Under-Secretary of State for the Colonies whether he will obtain definite and authoritative information whether Lord Selbourne made any, and what, protest against the insults levelled in Lord Selborne's presence at the Prime Minister and his supporters by Colonel Davies, of the Imperial Light Horse, in a speech at Johannesburg on the 27th of January last. 67 (Answered by Mr. Churchill.) No, Sir. It would not be desirable to intersperse communications on many grave matters of policy with inquiries of this character. The Secretary of State harbours no doubts of Lord Selborne's personal loyalty to the head of the Government under which he is serving, and will take no course which might seem to imply such suspicions. I would advise the hon. Member to treat such language as that used by Colonel Davies with the same indifference with which I know that the Prime Minister regards it.
