HC Deb 06 September 1886 vol 308 c1326
MR. BRYCE (Aberdeen, S.)

I beg to ask the Under Secretary of State for Foreign Affairs a Question of which I have given him private Notice—namely, Whether he can give the House any information with regard to the movements of Sir West Ridgway, and the probable date of the return of the British members of the Afghan Boundary Commission to India?

THE UNDER SECRETARY OF STATE (Sir JAMES FERGUSSON (Manchester, N.E.)

The Commission will return to India as soon as necessary arrangements permit—certainly in the course of the present month; and Sir West Ridgway will confer with the Ameer of Afghanistan at Cabul on his way.
