HC Deb 16 September 1931 vol 256 c829
18. Sir P. RICHARDSON

asked the Secretary of State for the Colonies whether any progress has been made in the negotiations with Italy regarding the better control of elephant-hunting for ivory on the Jubaland frontier?

Mr. THOMAS

No progress has been made in these negotiations. The question of introducing more effective measures for the protection of game in Africa by international agreement was raised at a congress recently held in Paris at which His Majesty's Government was officially represented and the matter will be further considered when the report of the proceedings of the congress is available.
