§ 12. Captain PETER MACDONALDasked the President of the Board of Trade whether the examination of questions arising out of the Congo Basin Treaties has now been completed; and whether there is to be any change of policy in this connection?
§ Captain EUAN WALLACEI would refer my hon. and gallant Friend to the reply which I gave yesterday to my hon. Friend the Member for Bury (Mr. Chorlton).
§ Captain MACDONALDIs it not a fact that during the last Session the President of the Board of Trade informed us that these treaties were under consideration, while an answer given yesterday stated that no action is to be taken?
§ Captain WALLACEThat shows that, as a result of the consideration, there is nothing doing.
Lieut.-Colonel SANDEMAN ALLENIn the settlement of the Abyssinian dispute, which covers the boundaries in question, will these treaties be reviewed?
