HC Deb 17 December 1906 vol 167 c1033
MR. WEDGWOOD (Newcastle-under-Lyme)

I beg to ask the Secretary of State for Foreign Affairs whether negotiations are in progress between this country and the Congo State as to the concession of a strip of territory for the Cape to Cairo Railway.

MR. RUNCIMAN

The Answer is in the negative.

MR. MYER

Is not the price of this land the silence of His Majesty's Government on the Congo atrocities?

[No Answer was returned.]
