HC Deb 05 March 1908 vol 185 c873
Mr. FORSTER (Kent, Sevenoaks)

I beg to ask the Secretary of State for Foreign Affairs if his attention has been called to the deaths of two British subjects, namely, John Blenkinsop and E. A. Ditchfield in Liberia, and to the circumstances antecedent to and attending the deaths of these two men; if the Foreign Office has instituted a claim for compensation against the Government of Liberia for the deaths of these two Englishmen; and if he can state the ground on which such claim for compensation is based, and the outcome of the negotiations in regard to it.

SIR EDWARD GREY

If the hon. Member will postpone his Question, I will give him what information I have. I am expecting a Report from the Consul shortly.
