HC Deb 28 March 1906 vol 154 c1290
* MR. STAVELEY HILL

I beg to: ask the First Lord of the Treasury what is the estimated number of young farmers in the Transvaal whose admissions to the voters' roll is desirable according to the instructions given to the South African Committee, and if this instruction applies, equally in the Orange River Colony.

SIR H. CAMPBELL-BANNERMAN

This is one of the questions which the Committee are being sent out to South. Africa to investigate. It is part of the instruction to the Committee to report the probable number of voters added to the roll by a system of manhood suffrage —and no estimate such as that described by the hon. Member can be given pending their report. The Committee:are also instructed to make some estimate of the results of applying analogous processes to the Orange River Colony.
