HC Deb 02 June 1891 vol 353 cc1472-3
SIR J. SWINBURNE (Staffordshire, Lichfield)

May I ask whether the Government will place a map in the Tea Room of South East Africa, showing the boundaries of the Portuguese possessions in that country, and giving the latest information in possession of the Government?

MR. W. H. SMITH

That may be desirable as soon as the Convention is ratified; but at the present moment it is not possible to do so.

SIR J. SWINBURNE

But, Mr. Speaker, what we want is to see the map before the ratification, and I would ask the First Lord of the Treasury whether he will have the map placed in the House before the ratification of the Convention?

MR. W. H. SMITH

No, Sir.
