§ 50. Mr. ORMSBY-GOREasked the Prime Minister whether he has yet received a copy of the Armistice signed between Mustapha Kemal and the Allied Commander-in-Chief in Cilicia; and whether the town of Adana and the section of the Baghdad railway between that town and the Taurus tunnels are still in Allied occupation?
Mr. HARMSWORTHThe Armistice with Mustapha Kemal was signed by the 1996 representative of the French High Commissioner. There is no Allied Commander-in-Chief in Cilicia, for which the French have sole responsibility. His Majesty's Government are not in possession of a copy of the Armistice terms, but from the information in their possession there seems to be no reason to suppose that the evacuation of Adana is contemplated. It appears doubtful, however, whether the French troops still command the railway between Adana and the Taurus tunnels.
§ Mr. ORMSBY-GOREAre we to understand that the French Commander-in-Chief and the Allied Commander-in-Chief agreed to the terms of the Armistice?
