§ 54. Mr. HOGGEasked the Prime Minister whether he is in a position to make any statement on the position in the Near East?
Mr. CHAMBERLAINThe present position is that, while the Greeks have accepted the Armistice but have not yet agreed to the Allied proposals and to a conference, the Angora Government, in returning an affirmative reply with regard to both, have attached to it conditions very far removed from either the intention or the effect of the settlement proposed by the Allied Governments at the recent meeting at Paris. In these circumstances negotiations are still proceeding.
