HC Deb 02 May 1881 vol 260 c1533
SIR MICHAEL HICKS-BEACH

asked the Under Secretary of State for the Colonies, When any further Papers relating to the Transvaal will be presented to Parliament; and, whether they will include the instructions, if any, to Sir F. Roberts on his departure from England?

MR. GRANT DUFF

I was under the impression that the Instructions to the Commission would be circulated today. If they are not, they will be circulated immediately. The Instructions to Sir Frederick Roberts were circulated on Saturday. They are already in the hands of the right hon. Gentleman.
