HC Deb 19 October 1908 vol 194 c743
DR. RUTHERFORD (Middlesex, Brentford)

I beg to ask the Under Secretary of State for the Colonies whether he has received complaints in regard to the character of the diet given to British-Indians imprisoned in the Transvaal for refusing to comply with the registration law; and, if so, will he say what action he proposes to take in the matter.

COLONEL SEELY

Yes, Sir, the Secretary of State has received complaints and he is now in communication with the Transvaal Government on the subject.

DR. RUTHERFORD

How many men are affected by this?

COLONEL SEELY

I should like notice of that Question.
