HC Deb 14 May 1885 vol 298 c478
MR. R. N. FOWLER (LORD MAYOR)

asked the Under Secretary of State for the Colonies, Whether there is any truth in the reports current in South Africa that Her Majesty's Government intend to take steps to establish a British Protectorate in Zululand, and that Sir Charles Warren, or some other representative of the Imperial Government, will shortly be employed in that special work?

MR. EVELYN ASHLEY

All I can say in reply to the right hon. Member is, that any reports of the character named in the Question are not based on any action taken by, or decision arrived at by, Her Majesty's Government.
