HC Deb 13 December 1922 vol 159 c2905
5. Sir HARRY BRITTAIN

asked the Under-Secretary of State for Foreign Affairs whether, in view of statements made that the trial of the ex-Greek ministers was a travesty of justice and that M. Gounaris in particular was sentenced and executed without being given an opportunity to speak in his own defence, His Majesty's Government will lay before the House Mr. Lindley's Report of these proceedings?

Mr. McNEILL

The full report by His Majesty's Legation at Athens on the proceedings which led to the execution of M. Gounaris and his colleagues has only just been received, and it is not yet possible to say whether it is suitable for laying before the House. The matter will be duly considered.

Captain WEDGWOOD BENN

If the Prime Minister decides to lay papers in reference to the near Eastern crisis, will those reports be included in them?

Mr. McNEILL

The hon. and gallant Gentleman knows that question should be addressed to the Prime Minister.
