HC Deb 13 March 1894 vol 22 cc141-2
SIR J. FERGUSSON (Manchester, N.E.)

I beg to ask the Under Secretary of State for Foreign Affairs, in view of the promise by the Chancellor of the Exchequer of an early discussion upon Uganda, when the Report by the late Sir Gerald Portal will be presented to Parliament?

THE UNDER SECRETARY OF STATE FOR FOREIGN AFFAIRS (Sir E. GREY,) Northumberland, Berwick

It has been intended to lay this Report on the Table before the Supplementary Estimate was taken. I am afraid this will hardly be possible now; but, as the Chancellor of the Exchequer has stated, an opportunity will be given for discussing the decision of the Government with regard to Uganda soon after Easter, and the Report of Sir G. Portal will be distributed before that takes place.
