§ 54. Major GLYNasked the Prime Minister whether there is any intention of the British officials ceasing to administer and command the Gendarmerie at Constantinople; if so, for what reason; and whether there is any intention of reducing our forces in Constantinople without taking other adequate steps to maintain British prestige?
§ The PRIME MINISTERThere is no present intention of reducing the number of British officials concerned in the administration or command of the Gendarmerie. The answer to the second part of the question is in the negative.
§ Major GLYNMay Task whether it is or is not a fact that other Allied officers have recently replaced British officers in the command of the Gendarmerie?
§ The PRIME MINISTERI would not like to answer that without notice.
