§ 93. Lieut.-Colonel HURSTasked the Under-Secretary of State for the Colonies whether he is aware of the dissatisfaction felt by the natives of Togoland in consequence of the recent boundary delimitation between French and British territory; whether he is aware that a large portion of what was previously known as the British zone, including Lome, Palime, and Misahohe, has been thus withdrawn from British administration against the wishes of the inhabitants; whether any petitions have been received from them; and whether he can hold out any hope of the boundary question being reconsidered?
§ Lieut.-Colonel AMERYI am aware that a considerable number of the inhabitants of the districts mentioned have petitioned against their inclusion in French territory under the terms of the Declaration of the 10th July last, but I regret that I can hold out no hope of any material modification of the boundary fixed by that Declaration which was part of the general arrangements for the administration of the former German colonies.
