§ 6. Mr. LUMLEYasked the Secretary of State for Foreign Affairs how many of the 39 slaves set free through the efforts of His Majesty's Consul at Jeddah and landed at Port Sudan are British subjects; and whether he will consider the advisability of recommending the Sudan administration to indicate in future Reports the nationality of any slaves liberated in this way?
Mr. LOCKER-LAMPSONI have no information as to the national status of the slaves in question, beyond the fact that they were of African origin. The attention of the Governor-General of the Sudan will be drawn to my hon. Friend's suggestion.
