HC Deb 04 March 1925 vol 181 cc410-1
13. Colonel WEDGWOOD

asked the Secretary of State for Foreign Affairs whether he has any information to give the House as to the rising in Kurdistan; and whether he anticipates that this rising will have any effect upon the Mosul delimitation or delay a decision?

19. Captain LODER

asked the Secretary of State for Foreign Affairs whether he is in a position to give any further information concerning the revolt against the Turkish Government in Kurdistan?

Mr. CHAMBERLAIN

As I explained on the 2nd March, my information regarding the Kurdish revolt in Anatolia does not extend beyond what has appeared in the Press. I am unable to forecast its effect—if any—on the Turco—Iraq frontier delimitation.

Colonel WEDGWOOD

Have we had no news from Bagdad?

Mr. CHAMBERLAIN

It would not come to the Foreign Office from Bagdad; it would go to the Colonial Office.
