§ 10. Colonel WEDGWOODasked the Secretary of State for Foreign Affairs whether any Englishman is in charge of the Assyrian concentration camp in Iraq; and whether he can give any information as to the present condition of those who survived the massacre?
§ Sir J. SIMONYes, Sir; the Mosul camp is, in the temporary absence of Major Thomson, under the supervision of another British subject in the service of the Iraqi Government, Major Wilson, the administrative inspector at Mosul. I have made careful inquiries regarding conditions in the camp, and I am assured that the conditions as recently as the 16th February were satisfactory.
§ Colonel WEDGWOODIs the question of the Assyrians now awaiting the decision of the League, or has the right hon. Gentleman any alternative recognising our primary responsibility in this matter?
§ Sir J. SIMONAs the right hon. and gallant Gentleman knows, there is a committee of the League which is dealing with the matter and we are waiting to learn what is the result.
§ Colonel WEDGWOODIs the only question before the committee of the League the question of transplanting them to Brazil?
§ Sir J. SIMONI should desire notice of that question, but I believe that Brazil is the direction to which their attention has been lately directed.
