§ MR. FULLERTON (Cumberland, Egremont)I beg to ask the Secretary of State for Foreign Affairs if he can state what effective measures have been taken to prevent a repetition of the outrages recently perpetrated in the Congo State.
§ THE SECRETARY TO THE LOCAL GOVERNMENT BOARD (Mr. RUNCIMAN, Dewsbury, for Sir E. GREY)Some reforms have been announced since the 120 report of the Commission of Inquiry. They do not meet all the points to which that Commission drew attention, and there has not yet been time to receive reports upon the extent to which they have been put into force, or what the effect has been.
