HC Deb 22 April 1929 vol 227 c608
19. Mr. WELLOCK

asked the Secretary of State for the Colonies if he will make a statement on the points of dispute between His Majesty's Government and the Government of Iraq and on the possibility of the deadlock in the negotiations being overcome?

Mr. ORMSBY-GORE

I would invite the attention of the hon. Member to the replies which my right hon. Friend gave to the right hon. and gallant Member for Newcastle-under-Lyme (Colonel Wedgwood) on the 24th of January, to the hon. Member for Northampton (Mr. Malone) on the 28th of January, and the hon. Member for Kidderminster (Mr. Wardlaw-Milne) on the 20th of February. I am at present unable to add anything to those replies.

Mr. WELLOCK

Can the right hon. Gentleman say how long we are likely to be before we get the information?

Mr. ORMSBY-GORE

It may be some time yet.
