HC Deb 26 June 1884 vol 289 c1422
SIR HENRY HOLLAND

asked the First Lord of the Treasury, Whether he will give a day for discussion upon the state of affairs in Zululand? He would remind the right hon. Gentleman of the great gravity and importance of the question, which was, indeed, only second to that of Egypt. He hoped, therefore, that the Prime Minister would be able to give him a favourable answer.

MR. GLADSTONE

I do not at all question that this subject deserves the attention of the House; but I am sorry to say, and I think the hon. Baronet need not be surprised, that in the present state of Public Business it is not in my power to place at his disposal any day.

SIR HENRY HOLLAND

Then I must take the earliest opportunity of bringing the question forward.
