HC Deb 14 November 1918 vol 110 c2889
Mr. BLISS (by Private Notice)

asked the Secretary of State for Foreign Affairs: Considering the privations of the British communities in Constantinople and other places in Turkey, will the Government permit stores of food to be sent to these places; and will they assist in sending them without delay? Will the Government take measures to feed the starving portion of the British community in those places until supplies can be supplied normally?

Mr. BALDWIN

My right hon. Friend has asked me to answer this question. The position of the British communities in Turkey is receiving consideration in connection with the general problem of relief in all territories where it is required, and it is hoped shortly to set up a regular system for meeting the needs of the situation. In the meanwhile such emergency measures as are possible are being taken.
