61. Lieut.-Colonel MURRAYasked the Prime Minister when there wil be laid before Parliament the Papers relative to the events leading up to the Greek defeat in Asia Minor and the fall of Smyrna last year and to the negotiations with the Turkish Nationalist Authorities in September?
§ The PRIME MINISTERI would refer the hon. and gallant Member to the reply which I gave him on the 19th February last.
Lieut.-Colonel MURRAYCan the right hon. Gentleman say whether or not the Papers will be published at an early date?
§ The PRIME MINISTERThe answer to which I referred the hon. Member was to the effect that, in my opinion, until the Turkish Treaty was ratified, nothing but harm could result from the publication of the Papers. If he will put his question down, I will reply to it.
§ Mr. PRINGLEWill a Supplementary Estimate be laid for naval and military operations in the Near East?
