HC Deb 28 May 1924 vol 174 c418
51. Lieut.-Colonel HOWARD-BURY

asked the Prime Minister whether he can state the terms on which he has arrived at a settlement with the Italian Government on the question of Jubaland?

The PRIME MINISTER

I have expressed my willingness immediately to conclude an agreement on the lines of an arrangement originally arrived at between Lord Milner and Signor Scialoja in March and April, 1920. Negotiations for the conclusion of a convention giving definite effect to this arrangement are shortly to he opened between the experts of the two Governments. Pending the result of these negotiations I cannot make a more detailed statement.

Lord STANLEY

Is any compensation to be paid to Kenya Colony for the probable loss of territory and revenue arising out of this concession?

The PRIME MINISTER

I understand that no representations have been made by Kenya on the subject.
