§ Dr. CHAPPLEasked the Secretary of State for Foreign Affairs, whether our strategic interests in Northern Morocco could in any way be prejudiced by the terms of the protectorate that France is arranging with the Sultan; whether he is aware that the British residents and the Moors are apprehensive lest their interests might not be entirely safeguarded; and whether the Foreign Office will be made aware of the terms of the proposed treaty before they are finally ratified?
§ The UNDER-SECRETARY of STATE for INDIA (Mr. Montagu)I am not aware of the terms of the treaty which the French Government propose to negotiate with the Sultan of Morocco, nor can I say at what stage it will be communicated to His Majesty's Government, but I would observe that British strategic and other interests are fully safeguarded under existing agreements?
