HC Deb 28 June 1888 vol 327 c1556
MR. W. REDMOND (Fermanagh, N.)

asked the Under Secretary of State for the Colonies, Whether he will explain the nature of the recent troubles in Zululand; and, whether Her Majesty's Government will refrain from any action in South Africa likely to lead to a war with any of the Native Tribes?

THE UNDER SECRETARY OF STATE (Baron HENRY DE WORMS) (Liverpool, East Toxteth)

The recent troubles have been caused by Dinizulu, the son of Cetewayo, who has, without justification, attacked other Chiefs in Zululand and Government police stations. Her Majesty's Government have at no time relaxed their efforts to carry out the policy best calculated to prevent the recurrence of war with Native Tribes, and have no reason to think that that policy has failed.
