SIR GILBERT PARKERI beg to ask the Under-Secretary of State for the Colonies if he will lay upon the Table the Return showing the names of individuals retrenched from the public service of the Transvaal from 1st April, 1908, to 15th June, 1908, which was laid upon the Table of the Legislative Assembly of Pretoria on the 1st July, 1908.
§ COLONEL SEELYI see that a Return of the nature referred to has been laid, but it has not yet been received. There is not likely to be any reason why it should not be laid here, unless it is very bulky and expensive to print, but in accordance with custom I cannot promise a Paper which has not been received.
