HC Deb 27 March 1896 vol 39 c268
*SIR CHARLES DILKE (Gloucester, Forest of Dean)

I beg to ask the Under Secretary of State for Foreign Affairs, with reference to recent visits by British parties from the Uganda side to points situate in the Nile territory leased to the Sovereign of the Congo State, whether it is to be understood that Wadelai and Duffileh are to be open to occupation both by British and by Congo State forces?

THE UNDER SECRETARY or STATE FOR FOREIGN AFFAIRS (Mr. GEORGE CURZON,) Lancashire, Southport

Officers from the Uganda Protectorate have occasionally visited the Upper Nile, but no such inference is to be drawn from their visits as that which is suggested by the right hon. Gentleman.
