§ 27. Colonel WEDGWOODasked the Secretary of State for the Colonies whether he is as yet taking any steps and, if so, what to get any pipe line constructed by the Anglo-Persian Oil Company from Khanikin, or by the inter national oil combine from Mosul, to debouch on the Mediterranean at Haifa instead of at Alexandretta; and has the Admiralty yet been consulted in the matter?
§ Mr. AMERYThe point is obviously one which will be borne in mind if and 16 when the companies concerned are in a position to consider the construction of a pipe line to the Mediterranean, and I am keeping in touch with the Admiralty on the matter.
