SUDAN. (Hansard, 9 April 1930)

§ 12. Mr. WARDLAW - MILNE
(for Colonel GRETTON) asked the Secretary of State for Foreign Affairs if he still adheres to the statement as regards the Sudan laid down in the White Paper?

Mr. A. HENDERSON
Yes, Sir. There is no intention of departing from the principle laid down in Article 13 of the draft proposals of last year.

§ Mr. WARDLAW-MILNE
May we take it, as a fact, that the reports to the effect that there is some suggestion of leaving the question of the Sudan open to consideration at some future time are without foundation?

Mr. HENDERSON
That has not been considered in the Conference as yet.

§ Mr. WARDLAW-MILNE
Does not that arise out of the right hon. Gentleman's answer?

Mr. HENDERSON
I am only answering whether there is any truth in the statement that has been made.
