HC Deb 15 July 1920 vol 131 cc2601-2
81. Mr. RAPER

asked the Under-Secretary of State for Foreign Affairs what precisely is the extent of French administrative jurisdiction in Syria; and whether any measures have so far been taken by the French Government for the extension of that area?

Mr. HARMSWORTH

I am not in a position to state the precise extent of French administrative jurisdiction in Syria, for which country the French Government have received a Mandate from the Supreme Council.
