HC Deb 16 March 1908 vol 186 c187
MR. MITCHELL-THOMSON (Lanark, N.W.)

I beg to ask the Under-Secretary of State for the Colonies whether natives recruited from Portuguese territory for the Transvaal are permitted by law to become registered as owners of land in the Transvaal?

MR. CHURCHILL

Natives from Portuguese East Africa have, I understand, the same right of purchase and registration in regard to land as natives of the Transvaal.
