HC Deb 07 March 1923 vol 161 c457
12. Mr. TREVELYAN

asked the Under-Secretary of State for Foreign Affairs whether the British Government has been consulted in regard to any proposal that Serbia should occupy any part of Bulgaria in order to enforce the payment of reparations; and what answer or comment has been made on the proposal by the British Government?

Mr. McNEILL

The question of enforcing the observance by Bulgaria of her Treaty obligations under the Treaty of Neuilly has formed the subject of confidential consultation between the Allied Governments. It is not in the public interest to publish the particulars of such confidential discussions.

Mr. TREVELYAN

Are there any signs that the Serbian Government intend to behave in the same way as the French Government?

Mr. McNEILL

I do not quite follow the hon. Gentleman's question.

Colonel WEDGWOOD

Is there any risk of Serbia following the Ruhr precedent?

An HON. MEMBER

Wait and see.
