SIR CHARLES McLAREN

I beg to ask the Secretary of State for Foreign Affairs whether his attention has been called to the nature of the attacks recently made by the troops of the Congo State upon the Soudan frontier; and will he say what steps he proposes to take in the matter.

THE SECRETARY TO THE LOCAL GOVERNMENT BOARD (Mr. RUNCIMAN,) Dewsbury

His Majesty's Government have no information as to any attacks having recently been made by troops of the Congo State on the Soudan frontier or as to any fighting having occurred.
