DR. CAMERON

asked the Under Secretary of State for Foreign Affairs, Whether any Despatches have been received from the British Minister in Morocco respecting the protection granted by France to the Grand Shereef of Wazan, and its bearing on the relations between Morocco and the other Powers parties to the Treaty of Madrid; and, whether he proposes to submit any Papers on the subject to Parliament?

LORD EDMOND FITZMAURICE

Her Majesty's Government do not consider it advisable to present any Papers at present; but I may inform my hon. Friend that the assurances received from, the French Government that they have no designs upon Morocco, and repudiate all idea of establishing a protectorate or of promoting troubles in the country, have been communicated to Her Majesty's Minister at Tangier, and, through him, to the Moorish Government.
