Alert me about debates like this

Lord STANLEY:

The position is that Section 151 of the South Africa Act has, as General Hertzog recently described it, a meaning and intention, but that the right of the Government here to transfer the Native Territories or not remains unimpaired by the provisions of the Act. This, indeed, was made clear in the course of the Debates on the Bill in 1909. The reply to the second part of the question is in the negative.
