Mr. D. G. SOMERVILLE

asked the Secretary of State for Foreign Affairs whether his attention has been drawn to the recent occupation of the Kufra oases in Libya by Italian troops; and what steps are being taken with regard to the arrangement of a definite frontier line between Italian Libya and the Anglo-Egyptian Sudan?

Mr. DALTON

Yes, Sir. His Majesty's Ambassador at Rome has reported that Italian troops occupied Kufra on 24th January. The matter raised in the second part of the question is under consideration.
