asked the Secretary of State for the Colonies what reduction in our military commitments in Iraq he anticipates as a result of the signing of the agreement with Turkey on the Mosul question; and NV hat saving in expenditure he expects

Mr. AMERY

The matter is under consideration, and I am not yet in a position to give details.

Captain WEDGWOOD BENN

Can the right hon. Gentleman say whether any application for membership of the League will be put forward by Iraq?

Mr. AMERY

I am not aware of any such intention.

Lieut. - Commander KENWORTHY

When will the right, hon. Gentleman be in a position to answer the question with regard to the savings? That is the most important part of the question.

Mr. AMERY

I have answered that. It is a matter which we are considering seriously at this moment.
