HC Deb 27 March 1907 vol 171 c1803
MAJOR ANSTRUTHER-GRAY

I beg to ask the Secretary of State for Foreign Affairs whether he has received any official information as to the attack on the British Consulate by the rabble in Morocco, on or about Tuesday, the 19th instant, which was repelled only by the inmates using firearms; and what steps does he intend to take to prevent the recurrence of such an outrage.

SIR EDWARD GREY

I have not yet received particulars of the occurrences referred to. According to the latest information, all Europeans at Marakesh were safe and well on the 23rd, and I have no reason to believe that they are in any danger at present. His Majesty's Government will carefully watch events, and act as the circumstances seem to require.
