HC Deb 07 March 1892 vol 2 c147
SIR WILLIAM HOULDSWORTH (Manchester, N.W.)

I beg to ask the Under Secretary of State for the Colonies if he can give any further information in reference to the stoppage of the trade routes from Lagos into the interior; and what steps the Government propose to take in view of the breach of Treaty engagements by the Jebus reported by our Representative at Lagos?

THE UNDER SECRETARY OF STATE FOR THE COLONIES (Baron H. DE WORMS,) Liverpool, East Toxteth

We are still waiting for the Report of the Governor, who, as already stated, is expected back from the interior on the 9th, and will then report as directed on the state of affairs, with his recommendation as to what should be done.
