HC Deb 22 December 1893 vol 20 cc207-8
MR. BARTLEY

I beg to ask the Under Secretary of State for the Colonies when he will be able to lay further Papers upon the Table on the subject of Matabeleland?

MR. S. BUXTON

There would be no advantage in presenting further Papers at present. All news of interest in regard to the military operations has appeared in the Press; and with regard to political questions, the correspondence is not yet complete. But I have already undertaken to lay Papers in time for their consideration before any Vote is asked from the House.
