§ MR. HANBURYasked the Under Secretary of State for Foreign Affairs, When the Papers relating to the East African Slave Trade, which have now for some time been in the hands of the printers, will be issued to Members; and, if he would state to the House what changes have been made in the Consular Service on the East Coast of Africa and on the Coasts of the Red Sea since the Report of the Slave Trade Committee of 1871, and what further changes are now contemplated?
§ MR. BOURKE, in reply, said, the Papers alluded to would probably be in the hands of Members to-morrow, and as to the second Question, relating to the Consular Service, that subject would be soon brought under the consideration of the House, and it would be his duty then to make a statement upon the subject.
