HC Deb 12 March 1923 vol 161 cc1070-1W
Mr. A. HERBERT

asked the Under-Secretary of State for Foreign Affairs whether official pledges have been given by Turks and "Greeks that no military advance from the present frontiers of the Maritza is contemplated?

Mr. McNEILL

By article 13 of the Mudania convention the Turks have undertaken to maintain no army in Eastern Thace until peace is ratified. The Greek army is restricted to the west of the left bank -of the Maritza, by article two of the same convention, and General Harington obtained last month from the Greek commander in Thrace an assurance that the Greek troops near the Maritza would take no action which might be considered provocative.
