57. Lieut.-Colonel MURRAYasked the Prime Minister if he is now in a position to give the House an assurance that as soon as peace with Turkey is concluded there will be laid before Parliament the Papers relative to the events leading up to the Greek defeat in Asia Minor and the fall of Smyrna and to the negotiations with the Turkish Nationalist authorities in September?
§ The PRIME MINISTERIf the hon. and gallant Member will put the question after peace is concluded, I will consider it.
§ The PRIME MINISTERI do not think so. It will be time enough then.
Captain BENNWhy is it that no Supplementary Estimate has been laid in reference to the events in this question so as to enable the House of Commons to discuss them?
Lieut.-Colonel MURRAYAre we to understand that the right hon. Gentleman contemplates that the information contained in these Papers may never be given to the House?
§ The PRIME MINISTERNo, I said I should be quite ready to consider it after the Treaty has been concluded.
