HC Deb 02 April 1928 vol 215 c1577
17. Mr. WELLOCK

asked the Secretary of State for the Colonies whether the distillery at Basra was set up after Great Britain received the Mandate for Mesopotamia; and, if so, to whom it belongs, what it produces and to whom its products are chiefly sold?

Mr. AMERY

I have no information on the subject, which does not fall within the scope of the Treaty regulating our relations with Iraq.
