HC Deb 15 March 1926 vol 193 c35
68. Mr. PONSONBY

asked the Secretary of State for Foreign Affairs whether the Secretary-General of the League of Nations has reported the registration, under Article 18 of the Covenant of the League, of the treaty recently concluded between France and Turkey; and whether this treaty will he published?

Mr. LOCKER-LAMPSON

As the hon. Member is no doubt aware, treaties are only registered with the League of Nations after ratification. The answer, therefore, to the first part of his question is in the negative. As regards the last part of his question, I would refer him to the reply which was given to tit, Noble Lord the Member for Shrewsbury (Viscount Sandon) on 1st March.

Mr. PONSONBY

Am I to take it, from the hon. Gentleman's answer, that the treaty has not yet been ratified?

Mr. LOCKER-LAMPSON

No, I think not.
