HC Deb 23 September 1915 vol 74 c551
3. Mr. SNOWDEN

asked the Secretary of State for Foreign Affairs what are the claims which Great Britain has to satisfy in Africa, referred to by M. de Margerie in his conversation with the Belgian Minister in Paris on 16th August, 1914?

Sir E. GREY

I do not know to what claims Monsieur Margerie referred in the conversation alluded to. It appears to have been the expression of his own opinion, and did not purport to represent the views of His Majesty's Government.
