HC Deb 03 March 1925 vol 181 c233
47. Dr. SHIELS

asked the Prime Minister whether the British Government have refused to give information to the League of Nations of a, kind which other Governments have given, regarding alleged slavery conditions in certain areas for which Britain is responsible

The PRIME MINISTER

There is no foundation whatever for the suggestion that His Majesty's Government have ever withheld information asked for by the League of Nations regarding alleged slavery conditions in areas for which Britain is responsible.

Colonel WEDGWOOD

Can the right hon. Gentleman be equally definite as regards slavery conditions existing in countries not under our control, but as to which the Foreign Office has information?

The PRIME MINISTER

Perhaps the right hon. and gallant Member will put down a question on the point.
