§ 83. Mr. AUBREY HERBERTasked the Under-Secretary of State for Foreign Affairs whether the proposed terms of peace in the Near East were arrived at independently by the three foreign Ministers, or whether this settlement, which is vital to the well-being of Greece, Turkey, and Bulgaria, was discussed with the representatives of those countries?
§ Mr. HARMSWORTHI would refer the hon.
