HC Deb 15 April 1920 vol 127 c1836
59. Mr. LYON

asked the Lord Privy Seal whether a protest was received some weeks ago from the French Government against the seizure and occupation by British troops of various Turkish public buildings in other parts of Constantinople upon the ground, inter alia, that such action was taken without prior communication to or consultation with the French Government and without that accord between all the Allies which is deemed essential?

Mr. BONAR LAW

The answer is in the negative. The action taken was previously agreed upon by the Allies.
