HC Deb 26 April 1920 vol 128 cc850-1
67. Major ENTWISTLE

asked the Under-Secretary of State for Foreign Affairs if he can give the House any information as to the reported rising in Damascus; what is the cause of it; and are any British troops being used there for the purpose of quelling the riot?

Mr. HARMSWORTH

Nothing has been heard of any rising in Damascus. The remaining parts of the question do not, therefore, arise.

Colonel WEDGWOOD

There are no British troops at Damascus, are there?

Mr. HARMSWORTH

I think not.
