HC Deb 04 April 1922 vol 152 c2012
29. Lord ROBERT CECIL

asked the Secretary of State for the Colonies whether his attention has been called to the cruelties now being committed in Portuguese territory east of Nyasaland; and whether, in view of the evil effects on the native public opinion in the neighbouring territories, he will cause representations on the subject to be made to the Portuguese Government?

The UNDER-SECRETARY of STATE for FOREIGN AFFAIRS (Mr. Cecil Harmsworth)

The answer to the first part of the question is in the negative. Perhaps my Noble Friend will furnish me with particulars.
