HC Deb 06 July 1911 vol 27 c1308
Mr. DAVID MASON

asked, with regard to the action of Germany in Morocco, whether, in view of the fact that under the Act of Algeciras, Article 8, the Inspector-General is to report to the diplomatic body as to effective measures for the security of persons and the property of foreigners, and under Article 9, in the event of complaints, the diplomatic body may request the Inspector-General to make an inquiry and draw up a report, whether the Power named has made such complaint?

Sir E. GREY

We have not heard of any such complaint.

Mr. DAVID MASON

May I ask the right hon. Gentleman if no complaint has been made what justification there is for the action of Germany?

Sir E. GREY

The whole question is of much too serious importance to be dealt with by question and answer on particular points. I understand that the Prime Minister will make an announcement later on in regard to the general question.
