§ SIR R. TEMPLEI beg to ask the Under Secretary of State for the Colonies whether it is true that, as distinguished from Protectorate, the British share of protective obligations towards Swaziland, its Chief and people, is being relinquished?
§ THE UNDER SECRETARY OF STATE FOR THE COLONIES (Mr. S. BUXTON, Tower Hamlets, Poplar)I very much regret that I cannot make a definite statement on the whole subject; but as regards the question of the hon. Baronet, I may say at once that no arrangement in regard to the future government of the Swazis will be come to which will not involve the full and free assent of the Swazi nation.
