HC Deb 07 July 1933 vol 280 cc642-4W
Captain ERSKINE-BOLST

asked the Secretary of State for Foreign Affairs if any action is contemplated by His Majesty's Government to expedite the cessation of slavery in Liberia?

Mr. EDEN

The Liberian Government have passed the necessary laws for the abolition of slavery. If, as I hope, the League of Nations Plan of Assistance is accepted by the parties concerned, it will be for the foreign officials appointed under the plan to see that these laws are effectively enforced.
