§ Mr. MANDERasked the Under-Secretary of State for the Colonies whether his attention has been drawn to the proposed inquiry into slavery and forced labour in Liberia; and whether it is proposed to offer to place at the disposal of any such commission of inquiry any information which may be available along the British Protectorate of the Sierra Leone-Liberian border in the possession of the Secretary of State?
§ Mr. LUNNThe answer to the first part of my hon. Friend's question is in the affirmative. I am not aware that the Commission has yet been appointed, but I feel sure that any request from the Commission for information of the nature indicated in the second part of the question would be favourably considered by my Noble Friend, though I do not suppose that much information will be available.
