§ MR. HANBURY (Preston)I beg to ask the Under Secretary of State for Foreign Affairs what was defined to be the eastern boundary of the British sphere of influence south of Zambesi when, that sphere of influence was formerly proclaimed: and whether Ngamiland was included in such sphere of influence?
§ THE UNDER SECRETARY OF STATE FOR FOREIGN AFFAIRS (Sir J. FERGUSSON,) Manchester, N.E.I understand that my hon. Friend chiefly wishes for information respecting the western boundary. The eastern boundary was the Portuguese Province of Sofala. That on the northwest was, as was stated in the answer of the 13th to Mr. Baumann, only roughly indicated. The question of Ngamiland is under discussion and no opinion can be given.
