HC Deb 12 February 1891 vol 350 c476
SIR JOHN SWINBURNE

I beg to ask the Secretary of State for War whether he will have placed in the Tea Room a map showing all the information in the possession of Her Majesty's Government, up to the latest date, of the coast of Africa between Delagoa Bay and the mouths of the Zambesi, together with the country lying between that coast and the Zambesi on the north, and the 28th degree of east longitude on the west?

MR. E. STANHOPE

I learn from the Foreign Office that as the limits of the territories or spheres of influence in that region are at this moment the subject of inquiry and negotiation, it would be inexpedient to exhibit an official map, in which many features could not be positively defined.
