HC Deb 05 July 1920 vol 131 cc1011-2
79. Sir J. D. REES

asked the Under-Secretary for Foreign Affairs whether His Majesty's Government, so far as and if it is concerned, is in favour of the participation of the Mejliss in the government of Persia; and, if the answer be in the affirmative, whether the Secretary of State will take any opportunity which may offer indicating that such is the case?

Mr. HARMSWORTH

I would refer the hon. Baronet to the reply I have today returned to the hon. Member for Stafford on this subject.

Sir J. D. REES

Can the hon. Gentleman say whether the British Government is in favour of the Mejliss being summoned? Has anything authoritative on the subject been announced?

Mr. HARMSWORTH

I referred to the matter in my reply to-day to the hon. Member for Stafford.
