HC Deb 30 November 1882 vol 275 c386
MR. DILLWYN

asked the Under Secretary of State for the Colonies, Whether Her Majesty's Government have received the despatch from Sir H. Bulwer, in which he submits his proposals with reference to the mode and time of the re-instatement of Cetewayo as ruler of Zululand; and, if so, will he lay a Copy of it upon the Table of the House?

MR. EVELYN ASHLEY

The Government have received the despatch from Sir Henry Bulwer. It has been carefully considered, and detailed instructions have been telegraphed to Natal directing Sir Henry Bulwer to proceed without delay to make the necessary arrangements and prepare for the speedy return of Cetewayo to Zululand. The Papers cannot be laid on the Table until Sir Henry Bulwer has made the proper announcements on the spot, as it would be most inconvenient that their contents should be known here before Sir Henry Bulwer has been able to communicate them to those more immediately concerned.
