§ 24. Lieut.-Colonel HOWARD-BURYasked the Secretary of State for Foreign Affairs whether he can make a statement as to the progress of the negotiations with regard to Mosul that are taking place in Constantinople?
§ The PRIME MINISTERThe negotiations are not yet concluded, and I must ask to be excused from making any statement at the present time.
§ Lieut.-Colonel HOWARD-BURYHas there been any approach whatever to agreement by the two parties?
