§ 43. Mr. A. WILLIAMSasked the Prime Minister whether France is about to withdraw her troops from Cilicia; if so, whether the British occupation which was in existence there before we handed over the country to the French will be re-established; and what other steps will His Majesty's Government take to ensure that the Armenian inhabitants are protected, particularly those who were sent to Cilicia by the British authorities without their own consent?
Mr. HARMSWORTHI understand that the French are not withdrawing their troops from Cilicia, but are concentrating them in certain districts. The remainder of the question does not arise.
