HC Deb 28 June 1883 vol 280 cc1691-2
MR. A. PEASE

asked the Under Secretary of State for Foreign Affairs, Whether Her Majesty's Government have received any further information respecting the slave trade now being carried on on Morocco; and, whether their information confirms the report of the sale and mutilation of slaves which appeared in The Evening Standard of 19th June.

LORD EDMOND FITZMAURICE

Further Reports giving much information as to the Slave Trade in Morocco have been received, and will be shortly laid before Parliament. Speaking generally, they show that a very unsatisfactory state of affairs exist in Morocco. The subject continues to occupy the attention of the Foreign Office.
