HC Deb 06 July 1908 vol 191 cc1236-7
MR. FELL

I beg to ask the Undersecretary of State for the Colonies if any large parties of Boers are leaving the Transvaal at the present time; and, if so, where are they going and what is the reason given for their abandoning that country.

COLONEL SEELY

I have seen a statement in the Press that a party of Boers proposes to emigrate to East Africa, but I have no official information on the subject.

MR. FELL

Is it not the fact that a party are also going to the West Coast of Africa?

COLONEL SEELY

I have no official information, but I hope to have before long, and shall then be pleased to supply it to the hon. Member.
