HC Deb 06 April 1922 vol 152 c2395
8. Mr. AUBREY HERBERT

asked the Under-Secretary of State for Foreign Affairs whether it is proposed to put the Peninsula of Gallipoli under the Greeks or under an Allied Commission; and if His Majesty's Government will consider the advisability of an alternative plan, such as inviting the Turks to put the Peninsula under the League of Nations?

The UNDER-SECRETARY of STATE for FOREIGN AFFAIRS (Mr. Cecil Harmsworth)

If my hon. Friend will read the communiqué issued to the Press after the Paris meeting, he will see that the intention is that the Gallipoli Peninsula should be Greek territory, but demilitarised and occupied by an Allied garrison. The answer to the last part of the question is in the negative.
