HC Deb 05 November 1930 vol 244 c844
33. Major NATHAN

asked the Under-Secretary of State for the Colonies what is the position as regards the projected pipe-line from Iraq to the Mediterranean and the proposed route?

Mr. LUNN

I have been asked to reply to this question. I would refer the hon. and gallant Member to the reply which I returned on Monday to the hon. Member for Devonport (Mr. Hore-Belisha).

Mr. HORE-BELISHA

Are His Majesty's Government intending to intervene in these negotiations, or are they to be concluded independently of His Majesty's Government?

Mr. LUNN

I am not able to say whether His Majesty's Government will interfere as long as the negotiations are going on.
