HC Deb 01 March 1898 vol 54 c272
MR. W. HAZELL (Leicester)

I beg to ask the Under Secretary of State for Foreign Affairs whether Her Majesty's Government has resumed negotiations with the Moorish Government with regard to a new Treaty of Commerce, by which the present almost prohibitory restrictions on our commercial relations with that country would be removed?

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

The negotiations for the conclusion of a Treaty of Commerce between Great Britain and Morocco have not been resumed, no favourable opportunity for doing so having recently occurred.
