§ 19. Mr. LIDDALLasked the Secretary of State for Foreign Affairs whether, having regard to the severe losses suffered by Dominion and United Kingdom troops in the attack on the Dardanelles during the Great War, he will state what undertakings have been given to safeguard British interests in exchange for the request from Turkey that the Dardanelles should be remilitarised?
§ Mr. EDENMy hon. Friend will understand, I feel sure, that it would be improper for me to enter into details while the request of the Turkish Government for the revision of the Straits Convention is still the subject of negotiation. He can, however, rest assured that British interests will be borne constantly in mind by the United Kingdom Delegation at Montreux.
