HC Deb 06 July 1926 vol 197 c1899W
Mr. GILLETT

asked the Secretary of State for Foreign Affairs whether any proposal has been made in the League of Nations Council that Article 6 of the Draft Slavery Convention, referred to the Governments by the last assembly of the League, shall be amended in the direction of a more explicit denunciation of the exaction of forced labour for private profit; and what is the attitude of His Majesty's Government on this question?

Sir A. CHAMBERLAIN

So far as I am aware the answer to the first portion of the question is in the negative. Article 6 of the Convention is approved by His Majesty's Government.
