HC Deb 03 December 1908 vol 197 cc1670-1
MR. FELL

I beg to ask the Secretary of State for Foreign Affairs if the Soudan Government have made regulations respecting the destruction of wild game in the Soudan; and if that Government can prevent the export through the Soudan of the proceeds of unauthorised destruction of such game in territories at present outside the Soudan but coming within the provisions of the International African Game Convention.

SIR EDWARD GREY

The Government of the Soudan have issued regulations for carrying out the stipulations of the International Game Convention of 19th May, 1900. I am not aware whether the Government of the Soudan possess the power referred to in the second paragraph of the Question, but I will make inquiries.

MR. FELL

If the Government of the Soudan has power to carry out the Convention, would it not follow that it has the power suggested in the Question?

SIR EDWARD GREY

That is what I wish to ask about.
