HC Deb 15 March 1923 vol 161 cc1750-1
47. Sir E. STOCKTON

asked the Prime Minister whether, in view of the readiness in some quarters to waive the economic and financial claims put forward by this country to Turkey for acceptance, he will, before taking any such action, inquire the opinion of the various chambers of commerce and trading organisations of this country?

The PRIME MINISTER

The suggestion made by my hon. Friend has already been anticipated. Before the opening of the Lausanne Conference steps were taken to obtain the views of representative trading and other groups on matters affecting their interests.
