TELLERS FOR THE NOESMr. T. M. Healy and Mr. Keir Hardie.

Government purpose making provision by pensions for the widows, orphans, and dependents of those killed in the South African and other campaigns; and whether any financial proposals in furtherance of such scheme are contemplated this session.

MR. A. J. BALFOUR: The main

features of a scheme have been settled, and the committee is now arranging details. The work is nearly done, and provision will be made for carrying out the scheme in the Estimates for the coming year.

MR. MCKENNA (Monmouthshire, N.): Will the scheme be retrospective in its action? Will payments be made as from the date of the resolution of the House or the date of the scheme coming into operation?

MR. A. J. BALFOUR: Neither date will have anything to do with it; everybody who is qualified will secure the benefit who has suffered the loss of a relative in the war, which dates from 11th October last year.

MR. T. M. HEALY (Louth, N.): Will Irish workhouses be recouped for payments made?

MR. KEARLEY: Is the right hon. Gentleman aware that the dependents of many of the men killed have long been in very necessitous circumstances, and the need of help is therefore urgent?

TERMS OF SETTLEMENT.

MR. HARWOOD (Bolton): I beg to ask the Secretary of State for the Colonies if, in the document promulgating the terms of settlement with the Boers, it will be plainly set forth that, as soon as circumstances allow, there will be extended to the populations of these colonies similar conditions of self-government to those prevailing in the other South African colonies.

THE SECRETARY OF STATE FOR THE COLONIES (Mr. J. CHAMBERLAIN, Birmingham, W.): I certainly propose to make this plain, either by means of the proclamation referred to in my speech on Friday last, or in such other manner as may appear best adapted to secure the object in view.

BURNING OF FARMS.

MR. TREVELYAN (Yorkshire, W.R., Elland): I beg to ask the Secretary of State for War whether he is yet able to give any accurate and official information as to the number of farms which have been burnt by our armies for any reason in the Transvaal and Orange River colonies in the course of military operations, and also details as to the reason for their destruction.

*THE SECRETARY OF STATE FOR WAR (MR. BRODRICK, Surrey, Guildford): We have not yet received from Lord Kitchener the details referred to.

MR. TREVELYAN: Does the right hon. Gentleman expect the information before the session is over?

*MR. BRODRICK: I cannot say. Such details ought to be of great accuracy.

MILITIA OFFICERS' ALLOWANCES. CAPTAIN JESSEL (St. Pancras, S.): I beg to ask the Secretary of State for War whether it has been decided that the £100 allowance granted to officers of the Militia when the battalions are disembodied will not be granted to those officers of Militia who are given commissions in the Army; and whether, if this is the case, he can see his way to give the allowance to officers of the Militia who have been serving in South Africa and are transferred to the Army.

*MR. BRODRICK: This question is under consideration. I will endeavour to see what can be done about it.

any

SURRENDERS OF BRITISH TROOPSCOURTS OF INQUIRY. SIR E. ASHMEAD BARTLETT (Sheffield, Ecclesall): I beg to ask the Secretary of State for War whether court of inquiry has been held with regard to the surrender of British troops at Nicholson's Nek, Sanna's Post, Reddersburg, Lindley, and Roodeval; and, if so, whether the result of such inquiry will be made public.

*MR. BRODRICK: Courts of inquiry were held in each of the cases referred to, and will be held in all such cases. No decision as to publication can be given till the various reports have been received and considered.
