HC Deb 16 December 1929 vol 233 cc984-5W
Mr. MANDER

asked the Secretary of State for Foreign Affairs whether he will urge the Council of the League of Nations to publish the memorandum on slavery in Abyssinia, prepared by Lord Lugard for the League of Nations Commission in 1922?

Mr. A. HENDERSON

So far as I am aware, no memorandum on slavery in Abyssinia was prepared by Lord Lugard for the League of Nations Commission in 1922. The Report of the Temporary Slavery Commission, on which Lord Lugard was the British representative, was communicated to the President of the Council on 25th July, 1925. This Report, which refers inter alia to conditions in Abyssinia, was published in the League of Nations Official Journal, sixth year, No. 10.
