HC Deb 17 November 1952 vol 507 c110W
39. Mr. Peter Freeman

asked the Secretary of State for Foreign Affairs what steps he is taking to ensure that the terms of the Anglo-Ethiopian Treaty of 14th May, 1897, and the correspondence between Mr. Rodd and Ras Makonnen of 4th June, 1897, which were agreed as an amplification of Article II of the above Treaty and equally binding upon the parties as the Treaty itself, are being observed and, in particular, the clause of the letter of Mr. Rodd to the effect that the tribes occupying either side of the line should have the right to use the grazing grounds on the other side but during their migrations to be subject to the jurisdiction of the territory authority, and free access to the nearest wells to be equally reserved to the tribes occupying either side of the line.

Mr. Nutting

So far as I am aware the terms of the 1897 Treaty and annexed exchanges of Notes are being observed.
