§ MR. LONSDALE (Armagh, Mid)I beg to ask the Secretary of State for Foreign Affairs whether he has received the Report of the Anglo-Congolese Frontier Commission; whether the investigations of the Commission have revealed a mistake in the maps on which the Anglo-Congolese Convention of 1894 was passed, the effect of which is to deprive Great Britain of a strip of territory giving access to Lake Albert Edward; and whether any steps are being taken to rectify this error.
§ SIR EDWARD GREYThe Report has been received, but has not yet been considered. A mistake in the maps, which is probably that alluded to by the hon. Member, was brought to the notice of His Majesty's Government in January, 1904, this was why the Commission was appointed.
