HC Deb 18 March 1920 vol 126 cc2434-5W
Mr. RAWLINSON

asked the Under-Secretary of State for the Colonies what was the scope of the inquiry by the Commission recently sent to South Africa under Viscount Cave; and whether, before the Government agree to take over any property or responsibilities of the British South Africa Company, a full opportunity will be given to the House to discuss the question?

Lieut.-Colonel AMERY
