HC Deb 04 June 1924 vol 174 c1216
2. Mr. J. HARRIS

asked the Secretary of State for Foreign Affairs whether he proposes laying upon the Table of the House, in the form of a White Paper, the representations which have been made to the Liberian Government with regard to contract labour leaving Sierra Leone ports?

Mr. PONSONBY

His Majesty's Government have not yet received the text of the note addressed by His Majesty's Chargé d'Affaires at Monrovia to the Liberian Government. When it is received, His Majesty's Government will consider the question of laying it before Parliament.

Mr. HARRIS

Can the hon. Gentleman tell us to what foreign port these people are being taken?

Mr. PONSONBY

I require notice of that question.
