HC Deb 29 March 1897 vol 47 c1553
MR. HOGAN

I beg to ask the Under Secretary of State for Foreign Affairs what results, if any, have accrued from the further remonstrances, addressed through the British Ambassador at Paris to the French Government, against the selling of spirits and firearms to the Natives of the New Hebrides by French traders?

THE UNDER SECRETARY OF STATE FOR FOREIGN AFFAIRS (Mr. G. CURZON,) Lancashire, Southport

No answer has as yet been received from the French Government to the representations as to restriction that we recently addressed to them.
