EARL OF RONALDSHAY (Middlesex, Hornsey)I beg to ask the Secretary of State for Foreign Affairs whether the recent investigations conducted by Consul Thesiger in the Kasai region of the Congo territory are completed; if a Report has been received from that Consular official; and, if so, when it will be published; and whether further Reports have been recently received from British Consuls in other parts of the Congo territory.
§ SIR EDWARD GREYMr. Thesiger's Report on his recent journey through the Kasai district has only just been received, and being of a voluminous character, some time must necessarily elapse before it has been fully considered, but when this has been done I will consider the question of issuing a Parliamentary Paper containing this and some other Reports recently received.
