I beg to ask the Secretary of State for the Colonies whether he has now received the Report of the Commission to inquire into Land Settlement in the Transvaal, and will have it distributed at once.

I have now received the Report, and am forwarding it to Sir A. Milner for his observations. On receipt I will consider whether it will be desirable to publish.

Can we not have this Report before the Report of Supply on the Vote for the expenses of this Commission?

No, Sir. I cannot promise it before that.
