§ 6. Mr. Noel-Bakerasked the Prime Minister whether any agreement has yet been made with the Italian Government for the demarcation of the frontier between Abyssinia and the Sudan in the region of Gambela and in the valleys of Akob and Sobat?
§ Mr. ButlerNo, Sir. I would refer the hon. Member to my reply of 29th March to the hon. and learned Member for Kingswinford (Mr. A. Henderson) to which I have nothing to add at present.
§ Mr. Noel-BakerWill the right hon. Gentleman bear in mind the necessity of protecting the people in this area if it should be ceded?
§ Mr. ButlerI think we had better await the consideration of the joint memorandum of the British and Egyptian Governments, which the Italian Government is now considering.
