HC Deb 19 July 1897 vol 51 c408
MR. T. R. BUCHANAN (Aberdeenshire, E.)

I beg to ask the Secretary of State for the Colonies whether he will make inquiry into the alleged neglect and ill-treatment of the shipwrecked crew of the ship Traveller by the authorities of Rodrigues?

THE SECRETARY OF STATE FOR THE COLONIES (Mr. J. CHAMBERLAIN,) Birmingham, W.

My attention has been drawn to newspaper reports on this subject, and I will ask the Governor of Mauritius to make a full inquiry into the matter.
