§ 46. Sir A. SINCLAIRasked the Prime Minister whether His Majesty's Government have yet ratified the Treaty of Lausanne; if so, on what date; and what other Powers have ratified this Treaty?
§ The PRIME MINISTERHis Majesty has not yet ratified. Italy, Japan, Turkey and Greece have ratified.
§ Sir A. SINCLAIRWas it not the case, as stated by the Prime Minister in debate on the Lausanne Treaty, that it was essential to get the Treaty ratified in order to start negotiations with regard to the proposal?
§ The PRIME MINISTERWhat I said then was perfectly true. I was able to get the negotiations started before ratification. I regret very much that I am still in a most inconvenient position by not being able to carry through the ratification.
