§ MR. FELL (Great Yarmouth)I beg to ask the Under-Secretary of State for the Colonies if the Committee appointed by the Transvaal Government to inquire into the whole question of the supply of labour for the mines at Johannesburg has now made its Report; and if the same can be supplied to this House.
§ MR. CHURCHILLThe Committee has not, as far as I am aware, yet reported.
§ MR. FELLWas not the Committee appointed with a view to its reporting before any steps were taken with regard to Chinese labour?
§ MR. CHURCHILLIt was appointed by the responsible Government of the Colony, and it is not for us to interfere.
§ MR. FELLBut was not this one of the Questions in regard to which His 1354 Majesty's Government retained the power of interference?
