§ 39. Colonel HOWARD-BURYasked the Secretary of State for Foreign Affairs whether he can now state the result of his conversations with the French Government over the Dead Sea concessions; and whether a settlement has been reached or has it been decided to take the matter before the League of Nations?
§ Mr. DALTONI am not yet in a position to add anything to the reply given to the hon. and gallant Member on 30th April.
§ Colonel HOWARD-BURYCan the hon. Gentleman say when he will be in a position, because his reply stated that he would shortly be in a position to do so?
§ Mr. DALTONWe all regret the delay, but I hope that very soon I shall be able to give a more definite reply. Perhaps the hon. and gallant Member will put down another question in a short time.
§ Colonel HOWARD-BURYWhat would the hon. Gentleman call a short time?
§ Mr. DALTONA fortnight.
