HC Deb 06 May 1889 vol 335 c1247
SIR J. SWINBURNE (Staffordshire, Lichfield)

I beg to ask the first Lord of the Treasury whether he will have the Admiralty Chart, with the latest corrections on it of the mouths of the Zambesi, placed in the Tea Room of the House?

LORD G. HAMILTON

I have no objection to have the Admiralty Chart of the mouths of the Zambesi, with the latest corrections, placed in the Tea Room of the House. There have, however, been no recent corrections.

SIR J. SWINBURNE

Will the noble Lord give telegraphic instructions to the Commander-in-Chief at the Cape to send one of Her Majesty's ships to examine and report upon the navigable channels of the Zambesi?

LORD G. HAMILTON

A surveying ship, refitting at the Cape, will visit the Zambesi on its way to Zanzibar.
