HC Deb 03 December 1912 vol 44 c2071
5. Mr. LLOYD

asked the Secretary of State for Foreign Affairs whether he has any information to give the House regarding the present position at Muscat; whether the recent arms regulations are being enforced by the Sultan of Oman; and whether any modification of these regulations is contemplated?

Sir E. GREY

I have no information to give beyond the fact that the new regulations are already being enforced to the extent that all arms imported since 1st September are being deposited in the bonded warehouse No modification of the regulations is contemplated.

Mr. LLOYD

Is the regulation passed by the Sultan of Oman with regard to bonded warehouses entirely in order and infringes no treaty rights?

Sir E. GREY

Perhaps the hon. Member would give me notice.
