HC Deb 24 June 1920 vol 130 c2407W
Mr. A. T. DAVIES

asked the Prime Minister whether he is now in a position to inform the House as to the situation in Turkey; whether reinforcements have been asked for by Admiral de Robeck; and whether they have been or are being sent to meet the High Commissioner's request?

The PRIME MINISTER

The present situation in Turkey is that there has been a lull in the attacks made by the Nationalists on the Allied Forces near Constantinople. The question of reinforcements being a military one, no information can be given under the present circumstances.

Brigadier-General SURTEES

asked the Prime Minister to what extent this country is committed to supporting Greek claims on Turkish territory; whether he has consented to accept the help of Greek troops in the present crisis; and whether France and Italy have consented to take a share in operations against the Turkish Nationalist forces?

The PRIME MINISTER

I gave full replies in yesterday's Debate as to the position of Turkey.
