§ SIR GILBERT PARKER (Gravesend)I beg to ask the Under Secretary of State for the Colonies, if it has been decided what penalty or punishment will be inflicted upon a Chinaman who, after having been repatriated, returned t to South Africa.
§ MR. RUNCIMANThe penalty to be imposed is one of the points still under consideration and on which the proposals of the High Commissioner are awaited; but it is obvious that when the licences now currant expire shortly, there will be no opportunity for a coolie to return.
