HC Deb 06 July 1922 vol 156 cc599-600W
Major GLYN

asked the Prime Minister whether the British, French, and Italian Governments recognise that the Greek military operations in Asia Minor against the Nationalist forces were the result of representations made to the Ministry of M. Venizelos; whether since then subsequent Governments in Greece have continued that struggle; whether, when the policy of the three Allied Powers changed, the present Greek Government agreed to the proposals for an armistice formulated at Paris this year; and whether, in view of the desire of the whole Greek nation for peace on honourable terms, it is the intention of the British Government to take immediate steps to ensure peace?

The PRIME MINISTER

I cannot undertake, in reply to a Parliamentary Question, to traverse so large a part of the earlier history of these operations. His Majesty's Government are continuing their efforts to bring about an early and honourable peace by cooperation between the Allies.
