HC Deb 23 August 1883 vol 283 c1754
SIR H. DRUMMOND WOLFF

asked the Under Secretary of State for Foreign Affairs, Whether any compensation has as yet been given by the French Government to British subjects who suffered damage to their persons or property by the bombardment of Sfax?

LORD EDMOND FITZMAURICE

The latest information received on this subject by the Foreign Office is to the effect that Her Majesty's Agents and Consul General in Tunis had arranged with the French Resident for the payment of compensation to British subjects in accordance with the assessment made by the Sfax Indemnity Commission. The actual payment has, however, not yet been reported.
