§ MR. DILLON (Mayo, E.)asked the Under Secretary of State for Foreign Affairs, Whether the Government had received information to the effect that a horrible famine was raging in the Soudan; and, whether it was true that persons who attempted to smuggle food for the starving Natives through the English lines were severely punished if caught?
§ THE UNDER SECRETARY OF STATE (Mr. BRYCE) (Aberdeen, S.), in reply, said, that he had received no recent information agreeing with the allegations of the hon. Member. The hon. Member was aware of the circumstances of the blockade, as only a few days ago he had answered a Question of his upon the subject. He had no further information.
