HC Deb 02 August 1906 vol 162 cc1353-4
MR. J. M. ROBERTSON (Northumberland, Tyneside)

I beg to ask the Secretary of State for Foreign Affairs whether, in view of the recent disquiet at Bengazi, and the reported refusals to allow European travellers to pass through that district, he will consider the advisability of the Commission engaged on the delimitation of the frontier at Tabah being employed to delimit the Tripolitan frontier.

SIR EDWARD GREY

A proper delimitation is desirable, but His Majesty's Government do not consider the present moment favourable for extending the scope of the Commission now engaged on the Sinai frontier.
