§ 46. Major Beamishasked the Prime Minister how he proposes to dispose of the gifts of a gold certificate for £985,000 from the people of South Africa and the British Protectorates, and a bank certificate of £196,625 from the people of Durban and the Province of Natal, so that the people of Britain, for whom these gifts are intended, may benefit as a whole.
§ The Prime MinisterIt has not yet been possible to decide the allocation of the very generous gift made by the people of South Africa for the benefit of the people of Britain, but I am giving careful attention to it. I am glad to have this opportunity of giving further public expression to the gratitude which is felt in this country for this spontaneous and welcome gift.
