§ SIR HENRY COTTONI beg to ask the Under-Secretary of State for the Colonies whether, having regard to the fact that under the Proclamation No. 28 of 1907 the whole of the Government concessions, which comprise about one-third of the Swazi territory, will be available for native occupation, in addition to the area of one-third of the land granted to the concessionaires for the exclusive use and occupation of natives, His Majesty's Government will take the necessary steps to secure to the natives the inalienable possession of the land which is available for native occupation.
§ THE UNDER - SECRETARY OF STATE FOR THE COLONIES (Mr. CHURCHILL,) Manchester, N.W.Under he Proclamation the Special Commissioner has power to set apart areas of land for the sole and exclusive use and occupation of the natives. He has instructions to select ample land of good quality for the accommodation of the Swazis and for the reasonable expansion of the tribe. It does not, there ore, appear that any further measures are at present required.
