HC Deb 11 February 1931 vol 248 c421W
Mr. MANDER

asked the Secretary of State for Foreign Affairs if he will consider the desirability of proposing at the next meeting of the League of Nations that similar assistance should be rendered by the League to Abyssinia in dealing with her slavery problems as was recently adopted in the case of Liberia?

Mr. A. HENDERSON

I would remind the hon. Member that the recent International Commission of Inquiry into Slavery and Forced Labour in Liberia was set up by the Liberian Government. Should the Abyssinian Government take similar action and invite the League of Nations to co-operate, I should be happy to support their request.
