31. Mr. MARK SYKES

asked whether the Ottoman Government has lately applied to His Majesty's Government for officers for the gendarmerie?

Mr. ACLAND

The Ottoman Government have lately applied to His Majesty's Government for five officers for the service in question.

Mr. JAMES HOPE

Can the hon. Gentleman state why the gendarmerie officers; were withdrawn?

Mr. ACLAND

That has no connection with the question on the Paper, and perhaps the hon. Gentleman will put it down.

Mr. MARK SYKES

Is the Government going to provide those officers?

Mr. ACLAND

We are considering the conditions. The matter is still under consideration.
