HC Deb 16 March 1893 vol 10 cc235-6
MR. WEBSTER (St. Pancras, E.)

I beg to ask the Under Secretary of State for Foreign Affairs whether the Govern- ment will undertake not to agree to any arrangement with the South African Republic, concerning Swaziland, until the terms have been submitted to the House of Commons?

MR. BUXTON

Her Majesty's Government cannot give the undertaking required, but Parliament will be given the earliest practicable opportunity of judging of any action Her Majesty's Government may take in the matter.
