HC Deb 06 April 1886 vol 304 cc915-6
MR. BADEN-POWELL (Liverpool, Kirkdale)

asked the Under Secretary of State for the Colonies, When it will be possible for him to lay upon the Table further Papers on the affairs of Zululand; and, whether, among those Papers, he will include any instructions that have been sent to Sir Arthur Have-lock, the Governor of Natal, with a view to opening up negotiations for the settlement of the Zulu question?

THE UNDER SECRETARY OF STATE (Mr. OSBORNE MORGAN) (Denbighshire, E.)

Further Papers on the affairs of Zululand are in course of be- ing printed, and will be laid upon the Table as soon as possible. They will include, among other things, the Instructions sent to Sir Arthur Havelock with a view to opening up negotiations for the settlement of the Zulu Question; but as the despatch containing these Instructions has not yet reached him, it would obviously be premature to present these Papers to Parliament in an incomplete shape before he has had time to answer and act upon it.
