HC Deb 05 March 1923 vol 161 c38
62. Mr. MOREING

asked the Prime Minister whether, in view of the uncertainty created by recent announcements on the subject, it is the intention of His Majesty's Government to abide by the Treaty entered into with the King of Iraq?

The PRIME MINISTER

For the present I must refer the hon. Member to the statement I made on the 20th February, in the course of which I informed the House that, a Committee of the Cabinet is considering the whole question.

Mr. LAMBERT

When shall we know whether this Treaty is to be submitted to the House for ratification?

The PRIME MINISTER

I cannot say.

Mr. LAMBERT

Is it to be held up indefinitely?

The PRIME MINISTER

It must be held up until some progress is made with Turkey on the Peace Treaty.
