§ 49 and 50. Mr. JOYNSON-HICKSasked the Prime Minister (1) whether the operations by land of His Majesty's Forces now being conducted in Turkey are controlled by the Secretary of State for War or by the First Lord or the Board of Admiralty; and by whom or by which Department is their equipment, supply and transport provided; and (2) in view of the fact that we have eight wars on hand—in Flanders, in Egypt, in the Cameroons, in East Africa, in South-West Africa, in Central Africa, in Persia, and on the North-West Frontier of India—will he state generally the reasons for withdrawing troops and ships from these eight wars in order to commence a ninth war in European Turkey; and have the admirals commanding our Fleets at sea and the generals commanding our troops on land been consulted before such withdrawals were made and expressed agreement therewith?
§ Mr. McKENNAI must refer the hon. Member to the answer which I gave on the 22nd April to the Noble Lord the Member for Portsmouth.
