HC Deb 11 June 1901 vol 95 c59
MR. NORMAN

I beg to ask the Under Secretary of State for Foreign Affairs whether His Majesty's Government has consented to any extension of French influence in Morocco.

*THE UNDER SECRETARY OF STATE FOR FOREIGN AFFAIRS (Viscount CRANBORNE, Rochester)

The answer is in the negative.

MR. NORMAN

May I ask whether the noble Lord can say, without notice, whether this brief but very welcome answer also applies to the desert behind Morocco.

[No answer was given.
