§ MR. HAROLD COXI beg to ask the Under-Secretary of State for the Colonies whether his attention has been drawn to the draft Local Government Bill of the Transvaal; whether the Bill restores town regulations which were in vogue under the Kruger régime, forbidding any coloured person, irrespective of race, to use the footpaths, and excluding natives and Asiatics from, the tram-cars; and, if so, will he say if he proposes to take any action in the matter.
§ COLONEL SEELYNo, Sir; the draft has not yet reached the Colonial Office.
§ MR. HAROLD COXI will repeat the Question this day fortnight.
