§ MR. LONSDALEI beg to ask the Secretary of State for Foreign Affairs when the evacuation of the Sudanese Bahr-el-Ghazal by Congolese troops, in accordance with the Anglo-Belgian Convention, will take effect.
§ SIR EDWARD GREYThe five posts in the Bahr-el-Ghazal occupied by Congolese troops should have been evacuated as soon as possible after the signature of the agreement. But in such remote districts, a certain delay in sending instructions and in carrying them out is unavoidable.
§ LORD TURNOUR (Sussex, Horsham)How long since should the evacuation have taken place? What has been the extent of the delay?
§ SIR EDWARD GREYI can hardly tell. It necessarily takes time to reach these remote places.
