HC Deb 13 February 1896 vol 37 c234
MR. JOSEPH A. PEASE (Northumberland, Tyneside)

I beg to ask the Under Secretary of State for Foreign Affairs what steps have during the Recess been taken by Her Majesty's Government, or are about to be taken to secure the abolition of the status of slavery or the emancipation of slaves on the two British protected islands of Zanzibar and Pemba?

MR. CURZON

I hope shortly to be in a position to make a full statement on the subject.
