HC Deb 29 June 1899 vol 73 c978
SIR BENJAMIN STONE (Birmingham, E.)

I beg to ask the Secretary of State for the Colonies when the Report on the subject of the rebellion in Sierra Leone will be presented to the House.

MR. J. CHAMBERLAIN

I hope to be in a position to present the Report next week. I very much regret that the Report has been so long delayed. It is in no way the fault of the Colonial Office. It had to be submitted to the Governor for his observations. Both the Report and his reply were extremely voluminous, and I have had to consider them carefully in order to come to a decision on a great number of contested and complicated questions.
