HC Deb 25 April 1893 vol 11 cc1139-40
BARON HENRY DE WORMS (Liverpool, East Toxteth)

I beg to ask the Under Secretary of State for the Colonies whether he is able to give to the House any information relative to the reported failure of the Conference between Sir Henry Loch and President Krüger; and whether he is now in a position to state whether any agreement has been arrived at with regard to the future of Swaziland?

THE UNDER SECETARY OF STATE FOR THE COLONIES (Mr. S. BUXTON,) Tower Hamlets, Poplar

The Conference has not been a failure, but in Sir H. Loch's opinion a success, and Sir H. Loch and President Krüger have had a satisfactory and profitable discussion. A full account of what passed is on its way home; and I hope, before long, to be able to lay on the Table Papers in regard to the whole question.
