§ SIR C. DILKE (Gloucester, Forest of Dean)I beg to ask the Under Secretary of State for Foreign Affairs whether he is aware that the Government of the Congo State has been encouraged, by a recent statement on behalf of Her Majesty's Government, to treat the leases from us of territory to the north and west of the Lado enclave as being still in force, and the Bahr-el-Ghazel open to Congolese occupation?
§ MR. BRODRICKNothing has been said on this subject on behalf of Her Majesty's Government in addition to what has already been, laid before Parliament.
