HC Deb 23 July 1894 vol 27 c668
MR. CAYZER (Barrow-in-Furness)

I beg to ask the Under Secretary of State for Foreign Affairs whether, although by the London Convention of 1884 with the South African Republic, the independence of the Swazis within the boundary line of Swaziland was fully recognised, the Government proposes now to withdraw from the joint Protectorate of Swaziland with the Transvaal Republic, and surrender the country to the Government of the Transvaal Republic, against the protests of the Queen Regent and inhabitants of Swaziland, who are desirous of remaining under British protection?

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

The question of the future government of Swaziland is still the subject of negotiation.
