HC Deb 26 February 1963 vol 672 c1069
14. Mr. Sorensen

asked the Secretary of State for the Colonies if the Sultanate of Haushabe is to be included in the British Protectorate States federated with Aden Colony.

Mr. Fisher

Yes, Sir.

Mr. Sorensen

Will the code of human rights, which I understand will be incorporated in the Constitution for Aden, be extended to this particular area? If a slave escapes from this area and gets to Aden, is he liable to be apprehended by the agents of the Sultan?

Mr. Fisher

I am sorry, but I must ask the hon. Member for notice of those points because, frankly, I do not know the answer to them.

Mr. Sorensen

Do I understand that the hon. Gentleman will get the information for me if I send particulars by letter?

Mr. Fisher

Yes, I certainly will.
