HC Deb 18 November 1925 vol 188 c348
17. Mr. HARMSWORTH

asked the Secretary of State for Foreign Affairs whether the effect of the political situation in Syria under the French mandate upon the British position in Iraq and Palestine has been considered; and whether he can make a statement on the subject?

Mr. CHAMBERLAIN

It is, I think, obvious that the Mandatory Powers in Palestine, Syria and Iraq have a common interest in the maintenance of peace and good order, but I have no special statement to make upon the subject.
