HC Deb 03 March 1920 vol 126 cc440-1
62. Sir J. D. REES

asked the Under-Secretary of State for Foreign Affairs if he is aware of the situation created by the attitude and action of the Greeks at Smyrna; and, if so, whether some satisfaction will be given to the Moslems who have suffered outrage at their hands?

Sir H. GREENWOOD

I am aware that the situation at Smyrna is attended with difficulty and that unfortunate incidents have occurred on both sides. But I am not in a position to say what satisfaction it may be possible to give in either case.

Sir J. D. REES

Can the hon. Baronet undertake to say that similar consideration will be given to the Moslems as is given to the Armenians?

Sir H. GREENWOOD

So far as it is within the power of His Majesty's Government, yes.
