HC Deb 04 April 1898 vol 56 c13
MR. R. G. WEBSTER (St. Pancras, E.)

I beg to ask the Under Secretary of State for Foreign Affairs (1) whether his attention has been called to the diminution of the export trade of the United Kingdom to Tunis; (2) whether recently impediments and delays have been placed on British exports by the custom house authorities of Tunis, and have in consequence deterred the importation of British goods into that country; and (3) if he will cause inquiries to be made by our Consul General in Tunis on this subject?

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

We have not received any information to the effect stated in the first and second paragraphs of my hon. Friend's question, but we have written to Her Majesty's Consul General to inquire.
