§ SIR WILFRID LAWSONasked the Under Secretary of State for Foreign Affairs, Whether the Sultan of Zanzibar, since the signing of the Treaty in May last year, has not, through Her Majesty's Representative, intimated a wish to visit England; and, if so, whether Her Majesty's Government will not, in view of furthering the object of that Treaty, deem it expedient to facilitate such a visit?
§ MR. BOURKEI understand that the Sultan of Zanzibar has upon one or more previous occasions intimated his wish to pay a visit to England; but no communication to that effect has reached Her Majesty's present Government. Two or three days ago a letter was received from the Sultan of Zanzibar; but there has not yet been sufficient time to ascertain Her Majesty's wishes upon the subject.
