2. Mr. TREVELYAN THOMSON

asked the Secretary of State for Foreign Affairs what action our representative to the League of Nations has taken to combat the traffic in slaves still going on in Abyssinia and elsewhere?

The SECRETARY of STATE for FOREIGN AFFAIRS (Sir Austen Chamberlain)

I would refer the hon. Member to the Reports of the British delegates to the Sixth and Seventh Assemblies of the League of Nations in September, 1925 and 1926, (Miscellaneous No. 1, 1926, Command 2576, and Miscellaneous No. 12, 1926, Command 2780).

Mr. THOMSON

Is there anything more recent?

Sir A. CHAMBERLAIN

I think not.

Mr. KIRKWOOD

Is there slave traffic going on in Abyssinia?

Sir A. CHAMBERLAIN

I must ask for notice of that question.

Mr. H. WILLIAMS

Does the Report say that there is slave traffic going on in China among the Chinese?

Sir A. CHAMBERLAIN

I do not know.
