MR. LONSDALE

I beg to ask the Secretary of State for Foreign Affairs whether he can state the present position of affairs with reference to the proposed increase in the Turkish Customs.

MR. RUNCIMAN

The negotiations on this question between the Powers and the Ottoman Government are still proceeding, and it is not possible to make any statement at present.
