HC Deb 23 July 1908 vol 193 cc328-9
MR. STAVELEY-HILL

I beg to ask the Under-Secretary of State for the Colonies whether he will lay upon the Table the pass regulations in force in the Transvaal mines in connection with the employment of native labourers recruited from Portuguese East Africa and elsewhere.

COLONEL SEELY

No, Sir. I do not think that the expense of reprinting would be justified. The regulations in Question were issued in 1903, with various later modifications, and are made under the authority of the Proclamation No. 37 of 1901, printed in Cd. 904, and an Ordinance of 1903.

MR. STAVELEY-HILL

Will the hon. Gentleman put a copy in the Library?

COLONEL SEELY

That would involve reprinting, and I think it hardly reasonable to insist on that. But if the hon. Gentleman and any of his friends will call at the Colonial Office they can get what information they require.
