asked the Prime Minister whether the recent consultation with the Egyptian Government regarding the adjustment of the boundary between Italian East Africa and the Sudan has terminated; whether the memorandum bodying the joint proposals of His Majesty's Government and the Egyptian Government for the adjustment of the boundaries between Italian East Africa and the Sudan and the memorandum of His Majesty's Government with regard to Kenya and British Somaliland have been submitted to the Italian Government; and what further discussions are to take place?

The answers to the first two parts are in the affirmative. Further discussions are expected to take place on the receipt of such suggestions as the Italian Government on their side may wish to offer for the rectification of the frontiers between Italian East Africa on the one hand and Kenya, Somaliland and the Sudan on the other, in order to facilitate the administration of those territories and to improve the position of the tribes in the areas adjoining the frontiers.
