HC Deb 14 February 1890 vol 341 cc302-3
SIR ROBERT FOWLER (London)

I beg to ask the Under Secretary of State for the Colonies whether the Report of Sir Francis de Winton, as Special Commissioner to inquire into the affairs of Swaziland, has yet been received by Her Majesty's Government; and, if so, whether an opportunity will be afforded to the House for discussing it before its recommendations are acted upon?

BARON H. DE WORMS

Sir Francis de Winton has not yet completed his Report, which will be laid on the Table with other Papers in due course; but Her Majesty's Government cannot undertake to postpone; action upon it until after the subject has been discussed in Parliament.
