HC Deb 01 April 1879 vol 245 c134
SIR JULIAN GOLDSMID

asked Mr. Chancellor of the Exchequer, Whether the statement made in the telegrams from the Cape is correct, viz., that a serious disagreement has occurred between Sir Bartle Frere and Sir Henry Bulwer with regard to the treatment of the Native levies; and, if that statement is true, what steps the Government propose to take?

THE CHANCELLOR OF THE EXCHEQUER

My right hon. Friend the Secretary of State for the Colonies, to whom this Question might more properly have been addressed, is not in the House; but I have been informed that he has received no information whatever to the effect stated.
