HC Deb 18 January 1924 vol 169 c397W
Mr. A. T. DAVIES

asked the Under-Secretary of State for Foreign Affairs whether the Treaty of Tangiers has been ratified by Great Britain, France and Spain whether the Italian Government has agreed to its provisions; and whether the attention of British traders, merchants, and manufacturers has been directed to this Treaty, or will be directed to it in due course?

Mr. RONALD McNEILL

The Tangier Convention has not yet been ratified by Great Britain, France or Spain. When it has been ratified, the three contracting parties will invite the approval and accession of Italy and the other signatories of the Act of Algeciras. The text of the Convention, which was recently issued to the Press, has been communicated to various bodies representing British commercial interests in Morocco.
