§ Mr. LYTTELTONasked the Under-Secretary of State for the Colonies whether 1356W his attention has been called to the speech-recently delivered by the Earl of Selborne on the natives of South Africa; and whether he will lay a Report of this utterance?
§ Colonel SEELYI understand that the question refers to the address given by Lord Selborne before the congregation of the University of the Cape of Good Hope in February last, and I would refer the right hon. Gentleman to my reply to a question on the subject on 3rd March, in which I stated that it was not usual to lay as a Parliamentary Paper an unofficial expression of opinion such as is referred to, and that Lord Selborne's opinions as conveyed in an official form to the Secretary of State will no doubt be laid on the Table of the House at a later date.
