HC Deb 23 June 1926 vol 197 cc372-3
Mr. RAMSAY MacDONALD

Will the Prime Minister be good enough to tell us in what form he proposes to put the business before us on Friday?

The PRIME MINISTER

On the Motion for the Adjournment of the House.

Lieut. - Commander KENWORTHY

May I ask the Prime Minister if it is intended to give this House an opportunity, such as has been given in the Grand National Assembly of Angora and in the Parliament of Bagdad, of discussing the recently published Treaty signed on the 5th of this month with the Turkish Republic?

The PRIME MINISTER

If there be a general desire for a discussion on that subject, or if either section of the Opposition make a formal request to me, of course it will be duly considered. I cannot give an answer across the Floor of the House.

Lieut. - Commander KENWORTHY

Does not the right hon. Gentleman think it would be as well to put this down as an Order of the Day? Otherwise this will be the only one of the Parliaments concerned that will not discuss this important Treaty.

The PRIME MINISTER

A direct discussion is not necessary.

Lieut.-Commander KENWORTHY

Is it not desirable in this case?
