HC Deb 21 December 1888 vol 332 c975
SIR GEORGE CAMPBELL (Kirkcaldy, &c.)

I wish to ask the Under Secretary of State for Foreign Affairs a Question which I think he can answer without notice. It is, whether it is true that the Sultan of Zanzibar has gone off his head?

THE UNDER SECRETARY OF STATE (Sir JAMES FERGUSSON) (Manchester, N.E.)

I have already stated that the Sultan of Zanzibar had entered on a course of conduct of which Her Majesty's Government disapproved. From what cause that course of conduct originates is a matter of conjecture.
