HC Deb 04 September 1893 vol 16 c1881
SIR R. TEMPLE

I beg to ask the Under Secretary of State for the Colonies whether, before the Adjournment of the House for the Autumn Recess, he will state the arrangements to be settled for Swaziland, so that time may be allowed for discussion of the same?

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

I very much regret that I am not yet in a position to state to the House the terms of the proposed Swaziland Convention; for it is not yet signed. I may say that the delay has not been on our side. But I still hope, before the House rises, that the Convention will have been concluded; and if and when it is concluded, I will immediately communicate its terms to the House.
