HC Deb 03 November 1908 vol 195 c969
MR. MACKARNESS

I beg to ask the Under-Secretary of State for the Colonies whether he can state what amount has been paid to Dinizulu either by the Imperial or Natal Governments for arrears of salary or for the expenses of his defence.

COLONEL SEELY

£500 has been paid by the Natal Government.

*MR. MACKARNESS

Is it not well known to the Secretary of State that the expenses of Dinizulu's defence will amount to between £2,000 and £3,000, and can the hon. Gentleman say how they are to be met?

COLONEL SEELY

The Secretary of State is not aware what those expenses will be. He will be very glad to know.
