HC Deb 22 June 1920 vol 130 c1993
53. Sir J. D. REES

asked the Prime Minister whether it is contemplated that the type of administration to be introduced into Mesopotamia shall be considered by the League of Nations; if so. what are the qualifications of the League for dealing with such a question; and is its opinion thereon to be preferred to that of the Government and of the representatives of the people?

Mr. BONAR LAW

The consideration of the Mandate by the League of Nations does not imply that the League will determine the details of the administration.

Sir J. D. REES

Will the Government or Parliament be liable to be over-ruled whenever two or three men or supermen meet in the name of the League of Nations? How will it work?

Mr. BONAR LAW

I hope my hon. Friend and I will live long enough to see how it works.
