Mr. AMERY

Yes, Sir. I have received reports from the Governor of Kenya upon the raids referred to which took place in 1924 and 1925. Details in regard to these raids will be included in the statement as to raids from Abyssinia into the Sudan and neighbouring British territory since the beginning of 1916, which my right hon. Friend the Secretary of State for Foreign Affairs is preparing for issue as a White Paper and which in the ordinary course will be available for the information of the League of Nations.
