HC Deb 04 June 1894 vol 25 cc284-5
MR. WOOTTON ISAACSON (Tower Hamlets, Stepney)

I beg to ask the Under Secretary of State for Foreign Affairs whether he will lay before the House a full Report of the Consul of Zanzibar as to the events which intervened between the departure of Sir Gerald Portal from Uganda and the declaration of war against Kaba Rega; as to the incursions made by Kaba Rega into Uganda territory subsequent to Sir Gerald Portal's departure; and as to the number of Waganda held in slavery by Kaba Rega?

SIR E. GREY

Colonel Colvile stated that Kaba Rega held 20,000 subjects of Uganda in slavery, invaded Uganda last year and killed a Soudanese officer, and had after that invaded Usaga and Toru. I am not at present prepared to say when Papers can be laid before Parliament with regard to these events.

MR. WOOTTON ISAACSON

Is this information taken from the Report of Colonel Colvile?

SIR E. GREY

It has been taken from his Despatches.
