HC Deb 19 April 1886 vol 305 c11
MR. HUTTON (Manchester, N.)

asked the Under Secretary of State for Foreign Affairs, Whether, under the engagements entered into between the Governments of Great Britain and Germany in April and May 1885, British traders established on the territories of the right bank of the Rio del Rey, on the West Coast of Africa, or established on any of the affluents of the right bank of that river, will be within the boundary of the British protectorate, and able to carry on their trade there under British jurisdiction?

THE UNDER SECRETARY OF STATE (Mr. BRYCE) (Aberdeen, S)

The territories on the right bank of the Rio del Rey fall within the area over which the British Protectorate extends, and British traders there will have the benefit of any British jurisdiction which may be constituted.
