35. Lieut.-Colonel GUINNESSasked the Prime Minister whether the question of carrying out the promise to Bulgaria contained in the treaties of Sevres and Neuilly of an economic outlet on the Ægean will be among the subjects discussed at the forthcoming Conference to be attended by the Secretary of State for Foreign Affairs in Paris?
§ The UNDER-SECRETARY of STATE for FOREIGN AFFAIRS (Mr. Cecil Harmsworth)The question is quite independent of the proposed reconsideration of the terms of the Treaty of Peace with Turkey, and therefore does not call for discussion at the forthcoming meeting of Foreign Ministers at Paris.
Lieut.-Colonel GUINNESSCan the right hon. Gentleman give us an assurance that the delay in dealing with this matter does not mean that it will be lost sight of, or that there will be any change in the policy of His Majesty's Government?
§ Mr. HARMSWORTHI think my hon. Friend will be safe in assuming that.
