HC Deb 05 June 1890 vol 345 cc50-1
SIR GEORGE CAMPBELL (Kirkcaldy, etc.)

I beg to ask the Under Secretary of State for Foreign Affairs if he can now state precisely the attitude of the East African Company towards slavery under the late proclamations of their Representative in the territories nominally belonging to the Sultan of Zanzibar, but really administered by the East African Company, and in any other territories which they possess or have influence over?

THE UNDER SECRETARY OF STATE FOR FOREIGN AFFAIRS (Sir J. FERGUSSON,) Manchester, N.E.

The "attitude" was described in the answer of the 15th May. We have no later information.

SIR G. CAMPBELL

The answer of the 15th of May did not convey any real informatian to the House. I hope the right hon. Gentleman will tell us whether he is or is not possessed of precise information on the subject. I beg to give notice that I shall repeat the question.
