97. Mr. L. MALONEasked the Under-Secretary of State for Foreign Affairs whether the Thracian Treaty constitutes a revision of any part of the Treaty with Bulgaria already approved by this House; and whether the Thracian Treaty will be submitted to this House for ratification, and when?
Mr. HARMSWORTHThe answer to the first part of the question is in the negative. I trust that the ratification of this Treaty, the terms of which have already been laid before the House, will not be long delayed. As regards the second part, I anticipate that the House will have an opportunity of discussing the question of Thrace in connection with the settlement in the Near East, which I hope will result from the present negotiations.
§ Lord R. CECILShall we have an opportunity of discussing this Treaty?
Sir J. D. REESIs "Thracian Treaty" the official name for the terms now under consideration by the Turks?
Mr. HARMSWORTHNo, the Thracian Treaty is an entirely different matter. It is a small Treaty signed on the same day as the Treaty of Sèvres and it has been presented to the House.
