§ MR. TRITTON (Lambeth, Norwood)I beg to ask the Under Secretary of State for Foreign Affairs whether, in the event of a large British Company being formed to work a concession in Madagascar, it would be under British protection?
§ SIR E. GREYMadagascar is under the protection of France. British subjects engaged in commercial undertakings would be entitled, as in other foreign countries, to advice and assistance in case of need from the British Consular Representatives.
