HC Deb 27 June 1928 vol 219 c522
42. Mr. MALONE

asked the Secretary of State for the Colonies what outstanding questions are under discussion with King Ibn Saud; when conversations are going to be resumed; and whether the Government of Iraq, Palestine, and Transjordania, and the French authorities in Syria, have been kept informed of the course of the negotiations?

Mr. AMERY

I am not in a position to add anything to the reply given to the hon. Member and the hon. Member for Norfolk, North (Mr. Buxton) on 13th June.

Mr. MALONE

Is it a fact that a bomb raid was arranged on the Imam Ibn Saud yesterday, and does the right hon. Gentleman think that is the best way of coming to a satisfactory settlement in Arabia?

Mr. AMERY

The Imam is not the same person as Ibn Saud, and there is no connection between the two questions.
