HC Deb 13 February 1890 vol 341 c192
MR. ALEXANDER McARTHUR (Leicester)

I beg to ask the Under Secretary of State for the Colonies when correspondence respecting the affairs of Bechuanaland and adjacent territories, in continuation of Blue Book C, 5524, will be presented to this House; and whether that correspondence will furnish details as to the arrangements made by the High Commissioner in South Africa for operations by the British South African Company in Lobengula's territory and other districts "within the British sphere of influence"?

THE UNDER SECRETARY OF STATE FOR THE COLONIES (Baron H. DE WORMS, Liverpool, East Toxteth

The correspondence was presented on Tuesday, and is in type, so that it will be in Members' hands very shortly. It will contain all the details of the proceedings of the British South Africa Company since the issue of the Royal Charter, which up to the present time have been sanctioned.
