§ DR. C. K. TANNER (Cork Co., Mid.)I would like to ask the right hon. Gentleman the Leader of the House whether it is true, as reported in the evening papers, that a French force had advanced from Kyomo, and occupied Bagibo on the Niger in the disputed territory hitherto in the possession of the Royal Niger Company? Is it true, as I hope, that the French have taken the advanced British position?
§ THE FIRST LORD OF THE TREASURYI am afraid that I have no information to give the hon. Member, as I have not received any, and my right hon. Friend the Colonial Secretary is not in the House. If the hon. Member will repeat the Question on Monday he will receive information.
§ DR. TANNERThat is three days late.
§ House adjourned at 12.5 till Monday next.
