HC Deb 27 July 1911 vol 28 c1792
Mr. DILLON

asked whether the special mission from the Sultan of Morocco was refused permission to take part in the Coronation celebrations; and, if so, on what ground this action was taken?

Mr. McKINNON WOOD

The King, on the advice of His Majesty's Government, refused to receive on the occasion of His Majesty's Coronation, any special mission from the Sultan of Morocco, on the ground of the cruelties perpetrated by the Moorish troops acting under his orders.

Captain CRAIG

Can the right hon. Gentleman say why the hon. Member for Mayo did not bring pressure to bear upon the Lord Mayor of Dublin to take part in the Coronation ceremonies?
