60. Captain TUDOR-REESasked the Prime Minister whether the recent massacres at Marash have caused, or are likely to cause, any modification in the Allies' decision to allow those responsible for them, the Turks, to remain in possession and control of Constantinople: and whether any, and, if so, what measures have been, or will be, taken to prevent further massacres of Armenians?
§ The PRIME MINISTERI do not think that it would yet be advisable to make any statement in regard to the first part of the question. As regards the last part of the question, I would refer my hon. and gallant Friend to the reply which I gave on Monday last to a question by my Noble Friend the Member for Hitchin.
§ Lieut. - Commander KENWORTHYWill the House be consulted before we enter into military commitments in Asia Minor? Will we have a chance of the facts being laid before the House? Might I have an answer?
Mr. O'CONNORBefore the right hon. Gentleman answers that question may I ask him if we have any guarantee that the Turks engaged in massacreing Armenians will stay their hand until this House pronounces an opinion?
