§ MR. WEDGWOOD (Newcastle-under-Lyme)I beg to ask the Secretary of State for Foreign Affairs if any steps have been taken to secure British control over the section of the proposed Bagdad Railway from Killis to Bagdad, as well as over the section Bagdad to Koweit.
§ THE SECRETARY OF STATE FOR FOREIGN AFFAIRS (Sir Edward Grey, Northumberland, Berwick)The Answer is in the negative.
§ *MR. REES (Montgomery Boroughs)Is there any foundation for the assumption in the last sentence of the Question that there is any British control over the Bagdad and Koweit section?
§ SIR EDWARD GREYNo, Sir; that is a German and not a British section.
